Over the years 
Making salsa isn’t hard to do. You can make salsa just like Chilis with our recipe. Canned tomatoes, and canned green chilies make preparing this salsa easy.
Chilli’s Salsa
1 Can Tomatoes and Green Chilies (14.5 oz can)
1 Can Whole Peeled Tomatoes (14.5 oz can, plus the juice)
1 Tbsp. + 1 tsp. Jalapenos (canned, diced, not pickled)
1/4 C. Yellow Onion (diced)
1/2 – 3/4 tsp. Garlic Salt
1/2 tsp. cumin
1/4 tsp. Sugar
In food processor place jalapenos and onions. Process for just a few seconds. Add both cans of tomatoes, salt, sugar, and cumin. Process all ingredients until well blended but do not puree. Place in covered container and chill. A couple of hours of chilling will help blend and enrich the flavor.
Serve with your favorite thin corn tortilla chips.
Amanda have you canned any? I am new to canning. Any tips. How long do I process it.
you can can it if you add vinegar with 5% acidity to it. I would use about a tablespoon of vinegar for every cup of salsa.
I cant get jalapenos in Asia, what else can I use to substitute it?
Everytime we have a family, church, or work function I make a double batch of this salsa. Everyone loves it, I am always asked for the recipe and I enjoy sharing it.
This salsa is great! It is now the only salsa I am ever going to eat! However, when I made my first batch, I felt like it was missing something, so on the second batch I added about a 1/4 tsp more cumin and it made all the difference in the world!
I spose you could try this, I would think that it would change the flavor somewhat.
Can you use fresh tomatoes and “can” this?
Did you find out if this can be canned?
I have not found out if this can be canned. I am certain it could. What I would do is that I would refer to Ball’s canning guide book to make sure you get enough citric acid in there. Most canning recipes give a ratio for this. I would refer you to their guide on canning salsa.
tastes exactly like chili’s salsa and super easy to make!
I have to admit, this tastes just like the real thing and it’s easy. I make it all the time. Who would have guessed this wasn’t made with fresh tomatos? It’s awesome!!
