Any leftover salsa can be stored in a jar in the fridge for 3-4 days and can be used as a sauce for fish, chicken, steak or even with eggs and avocado on toast for breakfast. Of course you can use it to dip <a href=\"https:\/\/cookwithgem.com\/recipe\/homemade-tortilla-chips-guacamole\/\">tortilla chips<\/a> into as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can leave the chilli out if you are making this for the heat-averse.
