Spicy taqueria-style serrano pepper salsa!! Perfect for tacos, burritos, wraps & sandwiches, chips & dip, rice bowls, and more! This is quick and easy to make and keeps well in the fridge. In fact, it will taste even better after overnight in the fridge. 🙂

This simple and quick traditional taqueria-style salsa is soooo good and super spicy. I used serrano peppers and cherry tomatoes from my garden, but you can find both at your local farmer’s market or grocery store.

Serrano peppers are very hot, so if you want this a bit less spicy use some red jalapeño or another more mild pepper. So a dab of this on your dish will enhance the flavor without overpowering it, a little goes a long way!
