True Texas Salsa

Submitted by Shaianin

"True salsa that is a staple on the table at all Mexican food restaurants in Texas. During tomato season, I keep a large container of this in the refrigerator and plenty of chips in the cupboard for teenagers to snack on!! Best when you fiddle with it to get the flavor you like the best."

Fair-never had a salsa that had tomatoe sauce in it- Texas salsa around our parts usually has just fresh tomatoe, onion, cilantro and peppers. The tomatoe sauce is usually in the hot sauce not a salsa.
