Chili's Salsa Recipe: Easy, Delicious and Cheap

We have started menu planning at our house. At first it seemed like a daunting task but it is so nice to know you have all the ingredients for 6 meals at a time and there's no "what do you want for dinner? I don't know what you want."

While doing our menu plan we had several dishes that we could use Salsa with and I knew I had several pinned.

I picked out the Copy Cat Chili's Salsa Recipe from the Six Sisters that I had pinned and decided to go for it. I had most the spices I needed and I LOVE Chili's Salsa.

This blog is all about recipes and their copycat's that I have tried hit the nail on the head. I changed a few things about this recipe because we wanted it a little spicier!

Here is what you need:

2 cans (14.5 oz each) whole tomatoes, drained

Canned, whole jalapenos (not pickled and fresh works too, the recipe called for 3-4, I used 9)

1 yellow onion, quartered

1 teaspoon garlic salt ( I used 1/2 garlic salt and 1/2 garlic powder to keep the sodium down)

1 tsp cumin

1/2 tsp sugar

2 teaspoons lime juice 

2 tablespoons Sriracha Chili Sauce (or eye ball it at two circles around the food processor)*

* this stuff is hot so put a little in first then add more if needed, also I will be doing Come Again Sauce next week with this ingredient so if you like spicy buy it now and I will do several recipes for you to use it in!

Put all your ingredients into a food processor and blend till all ingredients are pureed. Transfer to a jar or Tupperware container, refrigerate and enjoy! I made this two weeks ago and we still have half a large jar so it makes a generous amount. 

I had to buy 2 cans tomatoes, jalapenos, yellow onion and Sriracha and the total was $2.87. Easy, Cheap, Delicious!
