So in Texas we call Salsa, Hot Sauce.  I remember living in California and asking for hot sauce at a Mexican restaurant and they brought me Tabasco.  A reminder that I was not in Texas anymore.  I loved our time in CA, but I missed my Tex-Mex.  Being back in the Lone Star state I can get all the “hot sauce” I want!

I came up with this recipe because my dear friend, Jean, gave us a jar of homemade salsa for Christmas a few years back.  My boys ate the entire jar in one afternoon.  They LOVED it.  I asked her for the recipe, but I could not make it as good as she did, according to my boys.  So, I came up with this recipe and they approve!  YAY! You know its all about making the princes happy.
