For a richer flavor, try adding a dollop of sour cream or Mexican crema just before serving. Spice it up by adding a pinch of cayenne pepper or a few dashes of your favorite hot sauce to the salsa. Feel free to experiment with different cheeses like cheddar, Oaxaca, or a Mexican cheese blend. This recipe can easily be doubled or tripled to feed a larger crowd. For best results, use fresh, high-quality corn tortillas.
