I have 4 new salsa recipes and they are all easy and very quick to prepare. The classic Texas Red version with tomatoes can be made with fresh or canned tomatoes. Then there are three fruit based salsa recipes…one with Ginger Citrus Seasoning, one with Texas Red Seasoning and one with Smoky Paprika Chipotle.
The Lime Tortilla Chips are fun to make and use fresh lime juice so they have a real lime flavor instead of the artificial version that is so common.

- 2 Tbsp. chopped fresh cilantro
Combine all ingredients in a medium bowl. Mix well. Refrigerate until ready to serve. Serve with tortilla chips as an appetizer or with a Mexican dish as a condiment.
