About

This is an easy salsa recipe that is different from your typical salsas. The sweetness of the mango and the smokiness of the chipotle seasoning is a great combination.

You can also tailor this salsa to your tastes. Instead of using canned tomatoes, use fresh. Rather than including Chipotle Chile Pepper seasoning, use a Jalapeno pepper (or any other type to your liking).
