Chips and Salsa are a staple just about anywhere. My husband likes to have chips and salsa several times a week. This salsa (Salsa de Molcajete) is packed full of flavor. Roasting the tomatoes, garlic and peppers bring out so much more flavor. It’s easy to make and cheaper than any store bought salsa you can buy.
