    We love Pappasito’s and their salsa is really good! I will be making this next time we have company!

    I use this recipe often and it is the best one I have found. I do not add the water as the tomatoes usually have enough and often add more cilantro, depending on how strong the flavor is of the cilantro I buy. Also, I typically make two batches – a mild batch with 2 jalapenos and a spicier batch substituting habaneros (2-4) for the jalapenos. I always need to “salt to taste” afterwards prior to serving, but everyone who tries it loves it.

    This salsa tastes nothing like Pappasitos! It tasted like spaghetti sauce, it might be better if you leave the oregano out. I was so disappointed to end up with spicy spaghetti sauce after spending all the time to prepare the salsa.

    We tried this recipe and found it to be very delicious and much like the one at Pappasittos. It does take a bit of time to make but is well worth the effort.
