2 15 oz Cans diced fire-roasted tomatoes (slightly drained)
1 Medium Serrano or Jalapeño pepper (leave seeds in to kick up the spice)

- Adjust the flavor to your preference by adding ingredients such as salt for saltiness, lime for tartness, garlic for a spicy kick, cilantro for a herbaceous flavor, pepper or mild green chilies for heat, and stevia or sugar to balance the heat with sweetness.
- Serve immediately with chips of choice. (goes great with our sweet potato chips!)
- Any leftovers can be stored in an air tight container and are good for up to a week.
