💡 For extra flavor, use fresh tomatoes instead of canned ones.To control the spice level, remove the seeds from the jalapeño before adding it.Serve this side dish with a protein-rich main course like grilled chicken or fish.Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
