Fresh Salsa Picante Recipes

QUICK PICANTE SAUCE

Hot pepper sauce and a jalapeno pepper give this snappy sauce just the right amount of zip. It makes a great dip for tortilla chips or a tangy sauce for tacos and fajitas. This is always a big hit at parties and office gatherings. I even make it for my mother when she needs to bring a dip to a party. -Barbara Sellers, Shreveport, Louisiana
