Hello miss you on QVC. I make this all the time but instead of the red onion, use scallions. And Tostitos Scoops for the chips. 😍
My husband and I love salsa but is must be mild because neither of us can handle hot, spicy peppers, What would you suggest as a substitute for the chipotle pepper?
Hi Florence. This recipe calls for Jalapeño peppers which are not that spicy in relation to the pepper world. They add flavor and a little heat. If you see a recipe that calls for chipotle peppers (which are smoked Jalapeños, but tend to be spicier than fresh), you can substitute them with fresh Jalapeño peppers. Or (and this might be better for you) you can omit them all together and just use sweet bell peppers.
Hi, Meredith & all: Due to pepper allergies, I can’t review your recipe. But I might have some substitution ideas for other readers.
I make my mango salsa with avocados and substitute tomatillos (usually) and/or cucumbers with the seeds removed (as a last resort.)
I’m also on the “ cilantro tastes like soap” team, so substituted Culantro (use way less than cilantro-it’s stronger) until my plant died, then switched to Italian parsley.
Pickled red onions give a zing to fish tacos if you have the hankering and the time to make them.
