Notes

  • Tips:You can substitute the green chilis for a tomatillo salsa for some extra spicy heat or that tomatillo tangy flavor.Make sure you get mild rotel, and mild green chilis if you do not like spicy food.
  • Storage:Will keep refrigerated in an airtight container or sealed with cling wrap for up to 7 days.Will also freeze well for up to 3 months. To thaw, place in the refrigerator overnight. Reheat on the stove top or in a microwave safe dish.
