Sweet Potato & Black Bean Tacos
Garden Salsa
| By : |
I find the salsa aisle in my local grocery store a bit overwhelming. So many brands and flavors to choose from, and how do I know it won’t be too spicy for my sometimes-wimpy palate? This is why, for barbecues and Mexican-themed dinners, I always make my own. It guarantees your salsa will be delicious and fresh, and I actually find it relaxing to chop all those veggies. This version is fairly mild, so feel free to add hotter chile peppers or chili powder.

- 2 jalapeno peppers seeded and diced
- 1 bell pepper any color, diced

Yummy! Made 6 pint jars. A little watery but the flavor is delicious.
Heating this recipe really hurts the recipe.
Very good! I only had it in for 4 mins which i think was too long. 2 would have been enough. I added 3 jalapeno peppers and a bit more cumin. Will make again
