CHILI'S chips & salsa recipe!

So, my boyfriend and I are big fans of the restaurant Chili's.   We eat there maybe once or twice a month when possible.  We absolutely LOVE their tortilla chips & salsa.  So much in fact, that we even ordered some to bring home with us a couple of weeks ago.  The other night I decided to do some research and see if I could find their salsa recipe.  And bingo!  Found it.  And I can say this because we made this last night and it smelled and tasted just like we got it at Chili's!

For the chips you can buy chips already made in the stores, but Chris made these from fresh corn tortillas and they were DIVINE!  Just cut up some corn tortillas into triangles, and fry them in canola oil, and then let them drain on paper towels.  Salt if you like, but I actually prefer them unsalted.





And now for the salsa recipe!

Ingredients:

(1) 10 oz can of Ro-Tel
(1) 14.5 oz can whole peeled tomatoes (do NOT drain)
1 1/2 Tbsp finely diced raw jalapeno (include seeds only if you want the salsa hot!)
1/4 cup diced onion
3/4 tsp garlic salt
1/2 tsp cumin
1/4 tsp sugar

Directions:

1.  Place jalepenos and onions in a food processor and run for approx 5-10 seconds.  
2.  Add Ro-Tel, tomatoes, sugar and cumin.
3.  Process all ingredients until thin, but not completely pureed.  Just think of the consistency of Chili's Salsa and aim for that.
4.  Place in a covered container and shill for two hours.
5.  Serve with warm tortilla chips.



ENJOY!
