Tips
- Wear latex or rubber gloves when handling the jalapeno peppers as the oils and seeds in a jalapeno can irritate your skin. Make sure you avoid touching your eyes, nose or mouth to prevent any irritation, and wash your hands with soap and water when you are done working with the pepper.
- If you want a spicier salsa, leave the seeds in the jalapeno. For less spice, remove the seeds.
- Not a fan of jalapeno peppers? Substitute with 1/4 cup (60 mL) chopped green, orange or yellow pepper instead of the jalapeno pepper.
