I saw this recipe online a few days ago, and it immediately piqued my interest. I really like the taste of salsa, but I don't like chunks. So, a good-tasting salsa + super easy directions = WOW! I love this, probably more than any jarred salsa I've ever had. I also like it more than the from-scratch, canned salsa I made last summer. (Additional use for this salsa- mix it with an avocado for simple guacamole!)I used mild Ro-tel and found it plenty spicy for my tastes. It also comes in original if you want more heat! By the way, these are my absolute favorite tortilla chips. I thought all chips were the same until I tried these! I've bought them at WalMart and WinCo.

Why I love it? As I already wrote, it is delicious, perfect if you like a smoother salsa, and so fast & easy! It's inexpensive, too, and can be made at any time of the year (since it uses canned tomatoes).
Mmm, mmm, this salsa is the best and easiest homemade kind I've ever tried! I like that you can make it as chunky as you wish and the spicyness level was perfect for us.
ReplyDeleteThis salsa was FABULOUS!!! I will definitely be making it sometime!
ReplyDeleteJust made this for the 2nd time.....mmm, mmm, good! I didn't think I'd ever like another recipe as much as your refried beans recipe, but this one may top it.....or at least tie it!
