Cooking Directions
In medium bowl, stir together all ingredients except tortilla chips ingredients; cover and refrigerate to blend flavors until ready serve.
Tailgate Tip: Prepare and refrigerate this colorful salsa up to 1 day ahead. If time is short, serve with purchased tortilla chips.
* Baked Flour Tortillas Chips: Place tortillas in a single layer on baking sheets coated with cooking spray. Brush lightly with butter on both sides. Using a knife or kitchen shears, cut each tortilla into 4 wedges. Sprinkle with salt. Bake at 375 degrees F. for 8 to 10 minutes or until crisp and light brown. Cool slightly (chips will continue to crisp as they cool). Serve warm or cool.
Tailgate Tip: Store baked chips in a tightly covered container for up to 3 weeks.
