We enjoyed the smokey flavor...but it sure doesn't pack any heat...I did cut the recipe in half...and I really think I had enough for 8 hungry people...I added the optional chipotle items but if you like things hot...I would suggest adding extra jalapenos or maybe a habernero, or two...the cooking process was spot on...I grilled all my goodies under the broiler and tossed them in my mini blender and away we went...thanks for posting it...made for Spring 2012 PAC...:)

What a great salsa! I have never used chicken bouillon granules in salsa before and I loved how it added so much flavor. I used the optional chipotles and adobo sauce which gave it a nice smokey flavor. Thanks Pac Baby!
