Recipe Notes

Nutritional information is approximate and was calculated using a recipe nutrition label generator.

Each serving is approximately 1/4 cup, or 2 ounces on a food scale. This recipe makes 9.5 servings.

If you are making this for more than 6 people, I recommend doubling the recipe.

If you don't have lime juice, white vinegar works well as a substitute.

You can leave cilantro out, if you are a cilantro-hater 😜(hi Dad!).

Fire roasted tomatoes are my favorite, but if you cannot find them, regular ones work just fine.
