Susie's Sizzling Salsa

Today I made one of my favorite things ever- salsa! Mexican food is my favorite cuisine and I love to cook it as well. I made my aunt's salsa recipe which is the best salsa I have ever had. She taught me how to make it when I was probably around 10 years old. I loved riding my bike to her house and doing crafty things with her. Here are a few photos of the ingredients and process. The recipe is at the bottom.

6 basic ingredients.

All added together in the blender.
