Fall offers up all kinds of opportunities to whip up a fresh, zesty salsa.

Whether you need munchies for game day or your lapping up those last warm days in the backyard, this simple sweet-tart margarita salsa with a splash of tequila is the perfect Mexican salsa recipe to add to your snack rotation.

This also turns home cooking like grilled pork chop or piece of chicken into a drool-worthy dinner. Or what about those beer-battered fish tacos? They’d love a spoonful or two of this delicious salsa on top!

There’s so many reasons to whip up a batch tonight, so…how do we make it?

A bottle of tequila, two limes, a red serrano Chile, a bowl of salt, three scallions, several tomatoes, and mango all on a wood cutting board.

ingredients for this margarita salsa

This is the perfect salsa to make this time of year when tomatoes are still ripe and the mangoes are super sweet. Here’s what you’ll need:

  • a ripe, juicy mango
  • a couple of the best tomatoes or a couple handfuls of the best cherry tomatoes you can find
  • scallions
  • a hot chile, like a serrano or jalapeño
  • chopped parsley
  • lime juice
  • good blanco tequila
  • salt
Diced mango, tomatoes, scallions, thinly sliced red Serrano peppers, and chopped parsley all lined up in a row.

now toss it all together!

Making this salsa is as easy as chopping up the ingredients and tossing it all together in a bowl.

I like to chop the ingredients pretty small so they easily fit on a chip and into my mouth.

Once you combine everything together, scoop a bite on a chip and see if it has enough salt and lime juice. Add a bit more of either or both if needed.

One last thing, if you’re worried about this salsa being boozy or giving you a buzz, don’t worry. The tequila amount is so little you will be able to enjoy it without feeling light-headed afterward.

recipes to go with it

This salsa will easily disappear with a bag of chips—or even better, a batch of homemade tortilla chips but it also turns an average weekday dinner or breakfast into something special. Try it on:

  • Instant Pot Pork Carnitas
  • Al Pastor Salmon
  • Sheet Pan Chicken Fajitas
  • Green Chile Chicken Meatballs
  • Chili Lime Chicken Tacos
  • Beef and Bean Burrito
