Serving Suggestions
Salsa goes on and with so many things! Of course, you can pair it with your favorite tortilla chips, but you can also put it on tostadas, tacos, burritos, salads, and more! I love it on these Cheeze-Its tostadas, but you can also serve it with grilled chicken or fish, fajitas, and more. Build a taco bar and add this as one of the salsas, or build a snack board of chips and salsas. The image below features Roasted Tomatillo Salsa, Pico de Gallo, Tomatillo Pico de Gallo, food processor salsa, and a spicy dip. I also love serving this tasty salsa along with hearty meals like this Tex-Mex Casserole! The possibilities are endless!
