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!

Chili’s Salsa
Adapted from Six Sisters Stuff
1 28oz can Whole Tomatoes, drained
1/4 Onion, diced
1 large Jalapeno, diced
1 tsp Garlic Salt
3/4 tsp Salt
1 tsp Cumin
1/2 tsp Sugar
1 tsp Lime
Combine everything in a food processor. Blend until smooth. Best after sitting over night (but it doesn’t have to)

February 2, 2012 at 9:43 amYeah, 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!

February 3, 2012 at 1:25 pmWait, 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!

February 3, 2012 at 2:14 pmFort 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!

February 3, 2012 at 9:32 pmHubs 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
February 4, 2012 at 12:40 pmAm 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.
