Remarks:
Why bother buying preservative- and sodium- ladened salsa when you can come up with one easily? It doesn't take much to dump fresh ingredients into a pot and simmer till they soften! Ops, I was too held up with cooking that I'd forgotten to take a picture of this tomato-based sauce! Refer to Picante Chicken Rice Burritos for one of its use!
