My Salsa

I like the taste of the roasted peppers. We like ours super hot so we leave in most of the seeds. All the chopping can be done by hand, that's how I usually do it so it looks more like a homemade salsa. The amount of tomato juice from the canned tomatoes you used will determine how think the final salsa will be.
