Jalapeños are thick-fleshed peppers that are said to be not too hot and not too mild. They are a favorite among people who like a little "kick' in their food.

Jalapeño Hot Salsa

In a medium sized skillet, heat the oil. Add the jalapeños, garlic and onion. Sauté until the onion is soft, approximately 3-5 minutes. (Careful not to brown the onion) Add the tomatoes and cook until the tomatoes are tender, about 5 minutes. Add the remaining ingredients and cook for 3 minutes. Add a pinch of salt. Let the salsa stand for at least 30 minutes.
