    Pro-tips:

    • If you prefer a smoother salsa, you can use a blender or food processor. Be careful not to over-process—your salsa should still have some texture.
    • Add a pinch of chili powder or smoked paprika for a smoky twist.
    • For extra heat, mix in a finely chopped jalapeño along with the Fresno peppers.
