Tips & Substitutions
For a spicier kick, consider replacing Serrano chilies with jalapeños or adding diced habaneros, but adjust based on your heat tolerance. If you prefer a milder salsa, use bell peppers instead of chilies. Fresh herbs like cilantro or parsley can enhance the flavor, and if you don't have Snappy Tom, a mix of tomato juice and Worcestershire sauce can work in a pinch.
