The salsa was great! I used about 4 hot pickled jalpenoes; it was spicey. As for as the patties I feel like they needed more flavor. I did not change anything on the recipe. I was trying to think what else could be added to get more flavor but didn't come up with anything. Any ideas? I would like to try these baked to lower the calorie count.
