Personal Notes:
I usually use Tostitos HOT salsa. You can choose a salsa that fits your spice preference. You can also use nuts other than pine nuts: slivered almonds and sunflower seeds work well. If you like to mix sweet with savory, toss in a handful of raisins. You can pretty much add whatever suits your fancy!
