  • 3 medium size tomatoes

  • 5 mix of red/yellow/green bell peppers

  • 1/4 cup jarred Jalapeno (or adjust per your tolerance)

  • 1 tbsp minced garlic

  • 1.5-2 cups salsa (Jack’s Cantina salsa from Costco or use any organic salsa)

  • 1/2 tsp cumin powder (I skipped this, but can be added for extra flavor)

  • 2 tbsp Club House Mango Chipotle seasoning

  • 1/4 cup chopped cilantro (optional)

Directions

  • Chop onions, tomatoes, bell peppers and keep aside. On big pot, water Sauté onion on low heat till soft. Add tomatoes, garlic, corn and cook for about 10 minutes on low/medium heat.
