Copycat Chili's Salsa Recipe
Years ago when I worked a corporate job one of my favorite after-work events was driving 30 minutes to the closest Chili's for chips and salsa. My friend Quenta and I would plan monthly nights out. I am going to admit that we went through a lot of Chili's chip and salsa! LOL!!!
This Chili's Salsa Copycat Recipe is one of my favorite snacks. I love making a big bowl and relaxing outside soaking up the great weather with a giant bowl of chips and a Watermelon Margarita.
Since we have been home for weeks and not really going out I decided it was time to make a big batch of Chili's Salsa again and share the recipe with everyone.
I paired the Chili's Salsa copycat recipe with homemade cheese enchiladas and Mexican rice for dinner. It was so delicious!!!!
Recipe Ingredients
- Rotel diced tomatoes and green chili's
- Diced Tomatoes - You can also use whole tomatoes if that is what you have
- Canned Diced Jalapenos
- Yellow Onion
- Garlic
- Cilantro
- Salt
- Cumin
- Sugar
- Lime Juice
Recipe Tips
I used our blender to make this fresh salsa recipe. You can also use a food processor or bullet blender depending on what you have available.
Make sure you pulse the blender/food processor. You want to have chunks of tomato and not puree to a liquid.
If you like a spicier salsa you can add in more jalapenos.
I like to serve the Chili's Salsa in a fun salsa bowl surrounded by a ton of tortilla chips.
This recipe makes a pretty large amount. You can easily half this recipe if you don't want a large bowl. You can also double the recipe for a party. Just change the serving size on the recipe card and it should auto calculate what you need.
This is a pic of the salsa before it was refrigerated. It is in a 4-cup Pyrex glass container to give you an idea of how much the recipe makes.
