Chilling:
- Once the salsa has simmered, remove it from the heat.
- Allow the salsa to cool slightly, then transfer it to a bowl or airtight container.

Tips:
- For a spicier kick, increase the amount of dried ancho chile powder according to your preference.
- Adjust the amount of salt to taste, keeping in mind that some ingredients, like the canned tomatoes or vinegar, may already contain salt.
- Feel free to customize the salsa by adding additional ingredients such as diced bell peppers or jalapeños for extra heat.
