I personally don’t think you can watch the Superbowl without chips and salsa. They just go together in my opinion. I personally love margaritas with my chips and salsa (hello girls night), but I think that is frowned upon with the manly Superbowl crowd. So I will go with Tom’s Pomegrante beer with my salsa this year.
We have been making fresh salsa for years. We have always had a garden, and took full advantage of fresh tomatoes. In the middle of winter though, fresh tomatoes can be hard to come by. There are a few recipes I have found with canned tomatoes that are really good. This recipe takes less than 5 minutes to prepare, and is so much better than a bottle of jarred salsa. It is a copycat recipe of Chili’s salsa, and it is really pretty close. I think it has a tad too much cumin to be perfect, but this will be making our regular rotation of salsa.
Don’t miss my giveaway going on!

Homemade salsa is so great. You can throw in extra little things that you may have laying around too.
Liz says
Yeah, hard to come by decent tomatoes this time of year! But homemade salsa with canned tomatoes is a heck of a lot tastier than the stuff you can buy at the market! YUM!

Wait, what? Pomegranate beer?!? I want some! Okay, I know that’s not what the post is about, but I love beer and that caught my eye immediately! The salsa would go splendidly with the beer, I imagine. There is nothing better in the world than homemade salsa. Yummers!
Erin says
Fort Collins Brewery is where I got it from. Not sure how wide their distribution area is, but if you ever find yourself in CO look for it!
Stephanie @ Eat. Drink. Love. says
Hubs and I haven’t been to Chili’s in years bc of how fattening the food is, but I loved getting their chips and salsa!
Emily @ Life on Food says
Am I silly for never thinking of using canned tomatoes for salsa? I am hitting myself in the head right now. I like chunky salsa but I have never turned down Chili’s version.
Kim Bee says
My hubs would go crazy for this one. He is a big salsa lover.
