    Great thread. I have made my own a couple of times but just sort of threw it together. One time it was simply tomato, onion, cilantro, Tabasco Chipotle hot sauce, lime juice and damn was it good.

    For store bought I find most of the stuff in the refrigerated section is pretty good. I like Publix brand just fine.

    For chips I like the Tostitos Scoops.

    They may not be the easiest to find, but these are my favorite tortilla chips by a lot.

    If you can find them at Aldi, their El Milagro chips, out of Chicago, are great.  One of the local Mexican supermercados sells them too.


    The tortilleria chips are my favorite, awesome corn flavor.

    We've been hooked on this La Casita. Found at local Kroger. It's made in North Texas so I'm not sure how far their distribution is beyond here. Great salsa. You guys with the simple homemade recipes have inspired me to give that a try though!

    Our Kroger just started carrying El Milagro tortilla shells - guess I'll go to the chip section and see if they carry those too. Thanks!

    The black bean and mango salsa recipe my wife makes is similar to the one here:

    http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/danny-boome/black-bean-and-mango-salsa-recipe-1953109

    Pair with just about any form of lime chips.  Good stuff!

    No problem bud, they're really good, nice crunch, and can stand up to dipping and smothering for nachos.  Hope you like them.

    My wife brought some of this home from Sam's club. It is good stuff. I little on the sweet side but a little habenero hot sauce balances it out nicely. I am planning to try it on grilled shrimp tacos.

    Another one I forgot to recommend is Frontera's Tomatillo.  For verde, cooking the tomatillos is an extra step.  Saw Rick B's sauce recommended by Cook's Country some time back, I'm on my third jar.  What the tasting panel, audience, Chris had to say about it was spot on....the vitamin A, it's roasted, as you can see the specks, and you can taste the ingredients individually.  Rick B wouldn't slap his name on kaka, just to make a buck.

    Most grocers have it, I found it cheapest at Aldi.

    ^^^ Cook's Country rated tomato salsas awhile back too, their favorite was by the restaurant chain ChiChi's.  I picked up a jar and didn't care for it at all; different strokes, I guess.

    Try it next time in the store.
    All three of Frontera/Rick B's offerings are good.

    Chi Chi's is like ATK's highly rated Bullsye BBQ, I'm smart enough to know better than try that. 
    Things went south at "Chi Chi's".

    ATK is not gospel, but they do have some good recs.  My Imusa tortilla warmer is awesome.

    +1 here - I find the ATK equipment recs to be much more reliable than food/ingredient recs.

    I make my own, but for store bought, it's tough to beat the 505 purchased at costco

    Extremely hard to find but some amazing stuff!   I feel like people either LOVE or HATE green olives so it's prob not for everyone.  If you do like green olives this will immediately become one of your favorites

    My daughter requires a jar of Tostitos Mild in the house at all times.  Last week I bought a jar of ChiChis because it was the cheapest.  ChiChis wins over that salty Tostitos stuff.  Big difference in the salt content confirmed by the label.
