My family loves spicy food and they also love tex-mex. Every time I go to visit, my mom makes me cook any new recipes I've come up with. About two summers ago, I decided I wanted to learn how to make the addicting Mexican rice and salsa they have at restaurants, but healthier. I came up with this recipe and now every time I visit, my family doesn't let me leave without making this a few times, and making extra for after I leave. I will make a huge container of this salsa, and my dad will have eaten the entire thing in two days. He also does this with my guacamole. I'll post the guac and Mexican rice recipes soon.
