This recipe is exactly what I was looking for!!! A restaurant (Jalapeno's) by my old house had something like this, but now that we're an hour away, my husband and I don't go there as much as we'd like. I do have to say... this recipe was better!!! Not only did it taste better, but at Jalapeno's, they serve it in a wine glass for about 12 dollars... This recipe only cost me about 18 dollars and I could EASILY fill up 50 of those glasses. Thanks for sharing!!! I will be recommending this to friends!!! By the way, since I made so much (for just me and my husband), we had it as an appetizer AND as a topper for our tilapia (which was wonderful), and we'll be enjoying it for a few days!

After visiting my brother in AZ a couple of weeks ago, I was determined to find this recipe. He had bought me the real stuff from a small authentic mexican restaurant and is was amazing! This is not exactly the same, but it sure is awesome! We added hot sauce, sea salt, and cilantro to taste. I left out the celery since I'm not a huge fan of it raw. My husband really pigged out and exclaimed that it is very addictive. I have to agree! Thanks for sharing this recipe!!
