This salsa pairs great with my Two Bean Enchilada Casserole, Burrito Bowls with Cauliflower Rice and Tempeh and Pinto Bean Tacos. You can also make oil-free corn tortilla chips using corn tortillas. Simple, Cut the corn tortillas in half, then cut them into thirds (to make a total of 6 triangles). Place the tortillas on a sheet pan. Bake at 350 F for about 5-8 minutes then allow to cool completely before serving.
