Ours is typically diced roma tomatoes, red, yellow, and green peppers, onions (both yellow and red), cilantro, sometimes jalepenos, lime juice...I'm forgetting something. Not sure what.

Black beans & corn? Mmmmm....I LOVE all types of salsa. Took me a while to get back to liking it after working a Chi Chi's in college...but, that story will wait for another time.  :biggrin:

Did you know that "Chi Chi" means "Ta ta"s or breasts?


We don't have Chi Chi's here and we were in the breakroom and I was telling my co-workers that I hadn't had "real" mexican food prior to moving to California. Just the Americanized version. It's WAY different. Anyway, another co-worker...a really shy young man...that comes from someplace back East mentioned, "Chi Chi"s. The spanish speaking co-workers, busted out laughing and asked him if he was kidding. I agreed with him and said that there is a Mexican restaurant w/that name in the East. They explained to us what it meant and he was mortified. LOL

I had to laugh because all this time, people have been talking about going to Chi Chi's, not realizing what they're talking about. I guess it's like a Mexican Hooters? LOL

LOL! Funny! I found out what chi chi's were after I went to Cancun 7 years ago...several years after I worked at the restaurant!  :biggrin:
And, you're SO right...real Mexican food is quite different from our 'Americanized' version.

My husband frequently is in Laredo, Texas and down there when you order Mexican, you really get Mexican. The downside is, I can no longer eat at places like Don Pablos (our Chi Chis went bankrupt) because now you know what it supposed to taste like. He's brought home some great recipes, though, because the man has a talent for picking out ingredients in a meal.

I absolutely love black bean and corn salsa.

I actually like our Americanized version! LOL! I thought the food I had in Mexico was pretty bland...maybe I just didn't go to the right places.  :smile:

I think all Chi Chi's went defunct & last I knew, the Don Pablos also went out of business in my former area.

And I was scared to try the black bean & corn salsa for a long time...but sure glad I did!

I went online the other night and got the recipe for the guacamole and the chicken marinade that they use at Chipotle. Yum!! We made it at home with our homemade salsa and Dos Equis and it was a good weekend!

Thanks my friend! I'm glad you enjoyed it! :smile: I have worked with the recipe to achieve what you had, over about 11 years now. I have made some changes, and I think it is just the way I like it now. Would you guys and gals like the recipe? I am willing to share it.  :wink: PM me if you want a copy and I will give it to you. Just remember that if you market it and make millions, it is nice to share! :biggrin:
Something to Consider! God Bless!

Hmm, are you interested in sharing that salsa recipe with another salsa addict? I mean, since I doubt I'll be your way anytime soon, it would be like you were letting me have a sample, 2 states away!
