Made this for 2013 Zaar Cookbook tag game and this is a keeper. I did drain the liquid from both canned tomatoes (the Rotel I left some of it) and used a full jalapeno pepper and no serrano (company didn't want it to hot). Definately one I will use again and again. Thank you for posting. P,S. Oh yes, I left it a little chunky and used a little less onion and added some green onion sliced thin for some more color.
