For extra flavor, grill the corn tortillas lightly before filling them. Adjust the amount of jalapeño pepper to control the heat level of the salsa. Feel free to add other toppings such as crumbled cotija cheese, sour cream, or a drizzle of hot sauce. For a non-dairy alternative, use cashew cream instead of sour cream.
