One of my daughter’s favorite restaurants to eat at is Chili’s.  Personally, I also love Chili’s!  Chili’s holds a special place in my heart.  When my husband and I first started dating (way the hell back in the last century, in 1998), it was the “nice” restaurant that we would go to when going out to eat.  I used to love ordering their cheeseburgers – one time they had an amazing cheeseburger that had chipotle sauce and blue cheese dressing on it (I made a knockoff //here//), but their regular cheeseburger was also always good!  We also love the boneless buffalo wings, and chicken fried steak and mashed potatoes… so many great memories at Chili’s!

Now that my daughter has joined us, HER favorite meal quickly became probably the cheapest thing on the menu – the bottomless chips and salsa.  This girl LOVES chips and salsa.  We no longer order anything for her off the kids menu, because this is her meal!

So when I finally found a recipe for copycat chili’s salsa, I knew I had to make it.  She, of course, was reluctant to try it, because she’s a picky 7yo, but after much prodding she finally did and guess what?  Couldn’t stop eating it.

You can find the original recipe //here//, and I can assure you, it is the real deal!  It tastes JUST LIKE Chili’s salsa.  We definitely love this recipe!!
