½cupdiced red bell pepperor tri color if using prepared from grocery store
¼cupdiced red onionor to taste
¼ to ⅓cupchopped cilantro
2clovesfresh garlicminced
½ to 1jalapenodiced (adjust to taste or heat level desired) I like to leave some seeds for a little heat and I used 1 jalapeno. You could use habanero for extra heat.
Juice and zest of 1 limeabout 2 tablespoons of juice
Start by dicing the peaches into bite-sized pieces. You want them ripe but still firm enough to hold their shape. Dice the red bell pepper and red onion, chop the cilantro, and mince the garlic and jalapeño.
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the diced peaches, bell pepper, red onion, cilantro, garlic, jalapeño, lime juice, and lime zest. Add in the elote seasoning and taste first. Some elote blends have more salt than others. Then add in sea salt to taste, I usually add ¼ teaspoon of fine sea salt.
Give it a gentle stir, then taste. Add a little more elote, salt, lime juice, or jalapeño if needed.
Let the salsa sit in the fridge for about 20 to 30 minutes. This gives all the flavors a chance to mingle. It’s not a must, but it sure does taste better after a little rest.
Serve with tortilla chips, spoon over grilled chicken, pork, or fish, or tuck it into chicken or fish tacos. It’s fresh, flavorful, and super versatile!
