Chili’s Salsa Recipe – do you love the restaurant Chili’s chips and salsa? It is so easy to make at home year round! Great for taco night, game day or just because!
When my son was younger he loved to go to Chili’s restaurant. There was something about the chips and salsa that he loved, and we had to order them every time we went! Can’t say I blame him, it was one of my favorites too. I mean, I could live on chips and salsa. And if you add Margaritas to the menu, then I am all in!
If you know me, you know I love Mexican food of any kind. It can be quick and easy like Creamy Salsa Chicken or tacos or even Chicken Enchiladas. I just love the flavors. And salsa goes right along with pretty much all Mexican food. If it is not in the recipe, it always goes well on the side. And there is just something about fresh homemade salsa.
This Chili’s salsa recipe comes together in the blender and is ready in just minutes. It starts with canned tomatoes, so you can make it any time of year! You can even add more or less jalapenos to adjust the spice level, which is the beauty of making anything at home.
How to Make Chili’s Salsa
- I like to finely chop my onions and jalapeno before I add them to the food processor. This just means you have to process it less, and you will get a few chunks. But if you like your salsa smooth, than you can just cut into chunks when you add it to the food processor.
- Add all of the ingredients into the food processor and pulse until blended but still slightly chunky.
- Taste and then adjust the seasonings as necessary. If it needs more salt, just stir it in to blend it if you want your salsa to have any chunks.
I love how simple and easy this homemade salsa is to make. I am not a huge fan of jarred salsa, but I could eat homemade salsa all day every day, and this is a staple in our fridge for sure!
How to Store Homemade Salsa
Store in the fridge in an air tight container. The flavors blend together as it sets, so it is best after a few hours or over night. It will last in the fridge for about a week.
If you are a fan of chips and salsa this is a must try recipe. You can always have a can of tomatoes in the pantry, so you can make this at any time. It is great to bring to parties or make for taco night. Your family is going to be really impressed when you bring out homemade salsa on a busy weeknight!
