This was a HUGE hit with my neighbors and co-workers, will have to make more as they have cleaned me out. Used Hatch chilis and a mix of home grown beefsteak and store Roma tomatoes. I picked this recipe because it does not call for cilantro. Was worried that the vinegar would be overwhelming but it was not. I used white vinegar.
