Restaurant Style Tex-Mex Salsa Recipe

Tex-Mex Cooked Salsa

Restaurant Style Copycat Recipe

$tex-mex salsa$

Make my cooked Tex-Mex salsa, when you want to have a copycat restaurant style taste at home!

Yes, it’s the cooking that brings out the natural flavors that we associate with Tex-Mex food.

Enjoy the healthy authentic salsa with tortilla chips or serve it alongside your favorite breakfast, lunch and dinner entrees.

The salsa can be used as a topping for eggs, tacos, burritos and a whole lot of other tasty dishes.

You can serve the warm salsa immediately after you make it or you can refrigerate it to use later.

If you’ve got a party planned, make a double or triple batch the night before your get together.

Then, you’ll be ready to enjoy good food and good times with your guests!

The recipe is what I would consider ‘medium hot,’ but you can adjust that to your taste.

Add more jalapeno peppers and crushed red peppers, if you’d like.

Or decrease them, if you like a milder salsa.

Enjoy!
