Ha ha ha, thanks for sharing! I'm glad because it makes a huge batch. let me know if you make it and if you like it!
you're making me hungry.
Good idea! I don't have a recipe written down yet...I just eyeball it, but would be happy to write it down the next time I make them to make sure I got it right. My rule is that if I make it, I have to eat it, and since I'm on a restricted diet now it will be a few months before I get to it. I'll let you know when I post it. Thanks!!

Homemade chips sound like they would compliment this perfectly. You should publish the tortilla chip recipe and then we can link up! Thank you for commenting.
Looks Delicious! Will have to try it with home-made tortilla chips. thanks for the recipe!

I always make a double batch when I take it to family events and then I put some into gladware or ziploc containers in advance so that people can take some home. It's really yummy! Thank you for commenting!
Yum! This reminds me of the salsa I make at home with my boys. It is so good. There is nothing like homemade salsa. I can't wait until we have fresh tomatoes in our garden.
