I loved this salsa! My husband hates "chunky" salsas and I hate pureed salsas, so I really got to enjoy my first batch myself. I also bought the lime chips (accidentally) and they were great with this. I omitted the jalepeno, well, just because I could. I am making a second batch today and packaging it for a few friends that I know will enjoy it. Thanks for the great recipe!

Great salsa! I scaled the recipe to half, used Fajita Seasoning Mix (added extra), and subbed a serrano (a whole one :) ) for the jalapeno. Really enjoyed it--thanks for posting the recipe!
