💡 Chef tips
- For a milder salsa, remove all the white membranes and seeds from the jalapeño before mincing.
- You can make this up to 4 hours in advance; keep it refrigerated in an airtight container for the best texture.
- Add a diced avocado right before serving for an extra creamy texture and richness.
