Notes
Use 2 serrano peppers instead of 3 Use gloves and take out the seeds and veins from the serranos. If you don’t mind your salsa a bit more tomatoey, use 2 serrano peppers and 2 large tomatoes. My top recommendation is to use 1 serrano pepper and one jalapeño pepper. Jalapeño peppers are not as spicy as serranos and will add a nice flavor to the salsa. You can also deseed and devein both the peppers for another added measure.
