This is a copycat recipe of a salsa that they have at my favorite little diner called “A’s Burgers” in San Juan Capistrano. I always joke around that I have this salsa with a side of burrito (their breakfast burritos used to be my jam before I started practicing keto). With the help of my beautiful mama I was finally able to dupe this recipe. Best of all it’s totally quick and easy!
