I have seen this recipe for Restaurant Style Salsa on a bunch of different blogs. I've never given it a try because it calls for Rotel and you can't get Rotel in Canada. One weekend my brother was heading to the States with his family so I asked him to pick some up for me. This salsa is extremely quick to make and tastes great. I used it in some Spicy Bean Burritos. I also made some Baked Garlic Pita Chips and we dipped them in the salsa. If you can't get Rotel, substitute 1 14 oz can of tomatoes and 1 can of green chillies for the Rotel. I haven't tried this but I've read online that it's a good substitution. most recipes for this salsa that I saw makes a huge batch. This recipe I got from Mountain Mama Cooks and it made a reasonable amount.

Salaam Henna,
DeleteYEAH!! I"m so glad it turned out well. Please do let me know when you make it so I can share on my Facebook page as well. I also have a recipe for baked pita chips on my blog that are really easy to make too!
Salaam Asiya! I finally made a post about this awesome salsa :) Here is the link: http://myninjanaan.wordpress.com/2012/09/08/salsa/
DeleteBtw, the first time I made it I kept everything the same, but the heat level was a tad high for my spice-hating husband, lol. So this time I just kept the jalepeno out and there was plenty of heat from the chilis in the Rotel. I also fried up some pita bread, and honestly I didn't even think about baking them (now I know why the scale hasn't been moving back even though I'm working out... whoops LOL!)
One of the recipes I made for SRC Group D and May! LOVELY to meet you! Karen at Lavender and Lovage
