*Can use jalapeno (hot), Serrano (hotter). or finger (hottest) pepper. or other hot pepper. Be sure to seed, as the seeds can be really hot You may want to add half the chopped pepper and sample, adding more chopped pepper to taste, if needed. (Probably most of us would prefer a salsa that’s not too hot so don’t get the salsa so not we can’t eat it!)
