G and I don’t eat out often but when we do, it’s always a trip to any of our favorite Mexican restaurants. He and I have different tastes in food but we can heartily agree on our love of Mexican cuisine.

But as much as I enjoy the fajitas, the taquitos, the tacos, the carne asada, the pollo asado, it’s the complimentary chips and salsa I look forward to the most.  Bold-flavored salsa and lightly salted tortilla chips is a combination too hard to resist, I am literally bursting at the seams by the time our order arrives.

Authentic Mexican salsa tastes better when it is from your own kitchen!

Since dining out is not always practical, I’ve resorted to making my own restaurant-style salsa at home. With just a few simple ingredients and less than 5 minutes of prep, I get to enjoy the bright, spicy flavors I crave right in my own kitchen!

This homemade restaurant-style salsa recipe makes about 4 cups. Good thing it keeps well for around 3 to 4 days in the fridge and is, in fact, even better when allowed to rest overnight for the flavors to meld and mellow out.

This easy homemade restaurant-style salsa is too good to be true!

Make it more fun and turn this fresh salsa your weekend canning project! Double or triple the recipe and have a steady supply on hand for your salsa fix! I am sure you’ll find many delicious ways to enjoy your precious loot. Not only does the salsa pair perfectly with crisp corn chips, it’s amazing drizzled over breakfast eggs, pasta, casseroles, soups or any dish you need a nice kick of spice.

I use 2 large jalapenos as I like my salsa with a good pop of fire. It’s hot enough to have you chasing your breath yet so addictingly delicious, you’ll be coming back for more! If you’d like to tame the heat a bit, remove the seeds and membranes of the chili peppers.
