Notes

It is important to add the ingredients into the blender in the order specified. The ingredients on the bottom will be chopped finer than the ingredients on the top.
With ½ of a jalapeño, this salsa is mild. If you like a spicier salsa, add a whole jalapeno, or even 2.
Be sure to use the pulse button! If you fully blend the salsa, it will turn into liquid.
