Notes

  • The consistency — If you believe your salsa has ended up watery and thin, a good solution is to add some canned tomatoes to thicken it a bit.
 
  • The tomatoes — Chuy’s salsa recipe is great, but it will only work if you use the ingredients properly. Keep in mind that you should always deseed the tomatoes for the best results.
