This recipe is heavily adapted. We replaced the jalapeños with a chipotle for milder heat and smoky flavour, added corn and onion, and -- as the Kidlet is a huge fan of garlic -- doubled the garlic. We also hand-minced the ingredients rather than using a food processor.

The results are delicious! We had it with tortilla snack chips and enjoyed every bite. Skipping the food processor means that the tomato chunks are a bit large; we had no problem with that but I do think it might benefit from some casual mincing of the tomato chunks in the future.
