I live in Texas… I love some good Tex Mex! I grew up in New Mexico… I do NOT like spicy food! (I’m not sure what growing up in New Mexico has to do with that…) I really love the flavor of a good pepper, but I am a huge wimp when it comes to heat. This salsa balances a mild pepper flavor with some fun, tasty flavors that compliment each other well. If you’re not a wimp like me, you could sub some hotter peppers for a spicier flavor. Go make this easy bacon jalapeno salsa!
