Texas salsa is our fav. We love it because it has lots of flavor, but not too much spicy heat. (Though, if you do love some heat, you’ll love our quick red chili!)
Longhorn Texas Salsa
a.k.a. “Jordan’s Salsa”
At the very beginning of our marriage, my husband (Jordan) came across a really good salsa recipe. He started making it all the time, adding a little something here, taking out a little something there… Melding other favorite salsas with it until it became our own. Over the years he’s continued to refine it, adding lots of Texas-sized flavor, and I’m not exaggerating at all when I say people literally BEG him to make it for all occassions (yes, we even had some this Thanksgiving)!
Graciously, he has agreed to let me share it with all of you. So… use your new powers wisely. :) And make sure you comment below if you have any more suggestions for him to try.
