This tasted a little strange. I wouldn't substitute salsa on its own for sauce - I think I'd make pizza sauce with cilantro and chili instead. I was confused about trying to find the jack cheese in the dairy section. My grocery store has a dairy section with milk and yogurt, then another section where they have cheese and lunchmeat. Luckily, a nice young man showed me where it was kept.
