How much salsa for 80 people?

For 80 people, you will need approximately 16 to 20 cups of salsa. This amount can vary depending on how much salsa you expect each person to consume and the spiciness level of the salsa. Here's a breakdown:

- Mild salsa: 16 cups (approximately 4 gallons)

- Medium salsa: 18 cups (approximately 4.5 gallons)

- Hot salsa: 20 cups (approximately 5 gallons)

To prepare the salsa, you can either make it homemade or purchase it from a store. If making homemade salsa, consider the following ingredients and quantities:

- Tomatoes: Approximately 16 pounds of ripe tomatoes, diced

- Onions: 4 large onions, diced

- Salt: 2 teaspoons, or to taste

- Pepper: 1 teaspoon, or to taste

Mix all the ingredients in a large pot or container and let them sit for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to blend. Adjust the seasoning to your preference.

Serve the salsa with tortilla chips, tacos, burritos, or your favorite Mexican dishes. Enjoy!
