CHILI'S Salsa - A Copy-Cat Recipe

CHILI'S Salsa Copy Cat Recipe



We are kind of obsessed with this salsa at our house. My daughter and her friends will eat a whole batch with a bag of corn tortilla chips, every chance they get. This is our preferred salsa recipe in the winter when garden fresh tomatoes are no longer available.

We have a favorite summer salsa recipe too, which I will share with you later. This recipe is made healthier, in that it is sugar-free, and it uses balanced salt, which may help with water retention.


CHILI'S COPY CAT SALSA Recipe;

1 14.5 ounce can tomatoes with green chilies
1 14.5 ounce can whole peeled tomatoes, plus the juice
1/4 c. yellow onion, diced
1 T. canned, diced jalapenos (not pickled), or fresh, to taste (or a pinch of red pepper flakes)
1/2 t. cumin powder
1/2 t. BIOSALT (recipe on blog)
1/2 t. BALANCED GARLIC SALT (recipe on blog)
1/4 t. xylitol 
a squeeze of fresh lime, optional

Method:

In a food processor place onions and jalapenos. Process a few seconds.
Add both cans of tomatoes, cumin, salt, garlic salt, and xylitol.

Taste for seasoning, add a squeeze of lime, if using,
Chill a couple hours (we never wait that long).
