After making a salsa verde, I knew it was time to tackle Salsa Roja. It’s also a perfect accompaniment for chips and would look killer in any football Sunday spread. I didn’t want to go too spicy because the salsa verde definitely had a little bit of a kick.

I am so happy with how this turned out, my friends and I devoured all of the salsa and this will be in my regular football snack rotation.
