We love this with chips. I love it with cilantro but there are a couple of guys in our family who don't like cilantro and it is great either way. I always use the canned tomatoes. There is enough chopping to do without the tomatoes:) I got this recipe from a friend of mine. Loralee Reary and I worked in YW together. So we planned a cooking night with our girls and Michael showed them how to make chicken taquitos. Loralee brought this salsa and it was so good! Now everytime we make the chicken taquitos, we make this too!
