Sweet & Spicy Peach Salsa Fiesta 🌶️🍑

Ever had that moment when you just need a fresh kick in your snack game? Like, you’re staring at a bag of chips and thinking, “Ugh, I can’t keep eating boring old salsa.” That’s when I whip up this peach salsa! It’s a game-changer, trust me!

Okay, Let’s Talk Ingredients

So, picture this: I’m in the grocery store, right? And I’m tossing stuff into my cart like I’m preparing for a summer BBQ apocalypse. You need:

– 2 cans of those fire-roasted diced tomatoes — the more charred, the better.
– 4 oz. chopped green chiles (don’t get scared, they’re mild, promise!).
– A bunch of fresh cilantro — I don’t know, a third of it? (I’m not measuring, just chop away!)
– ½ white onion (tear-fest incoming).
– Garlic powder — 1 ½ teaspoons (because who doesn’t like garlic, amirite?).
– Cumin — 1 teaspoon for that earthy vibe.
– A pinch of salt (like, not literally a pinch but you get it).
– 2 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar (adds that zing).
– And, of course, 3 juicy peaches, peeled and chopped! (You can totally eat one while you chop. No one’s judging!)

So Here’s Why I Make This Constantly

Okay, let me tell ya about the first time I made this salsa. It was a hot summer day, and I had friends over. We were all craving something refreshing. I didn’t wanna stick to that sad, chunky tomato stuff, so I thought, “What if I throw in some peaches?” And boom! My friends went *wild* over it. We ended up devouring the entire bowl—like, seriously, it was gone in minutes. Now, I make this salsa ALL.THE.TIME. It’s my go-to for tacos, chips, and even grilled chicken! No regrets.

The One Trick That Changes Everything

Alright, here’s the secret: pulse it just right! You wanna blend the tomatoes, onions, chiles, and spices first but don’t go full smoothie mode, okay? Just 10-15 seconds to chop everything up nicely. Then, add those peaches and give it a quick pulse for 5-10 seconds. You want those peach chunks to still be there, like little bursts of summer in every bite.

Don’t Mess This Up (My Top Tips)

1. Don’t skip the fire-roasted tomatoes! Seriously, they make all the difference.
2. Cilantro — I know it’s polarizing (some people hate it), so if that’s you, just skip it! You do you.
3. Taste as you go! You might wanna add more salt or vinegar depending on your vibe.
4. Chill it a bit if you can. It gets even better after sitting in the fridge for 30 minutes!

How to Keep Them From Disappearing (Or, How to Store Them)

Okay, so if you’re somehow blessed with leftovers (which I doubt), just pop this salsa in an airtight container and stick it in the fridge. It’ll last about a week, but I can almost guarantee it won’t make it past day 3. Just saying.
