Today, and I looked at the disaster my house is, because we are moving, not because we are slobs. I was thinking about who I have become lately. A few years ago I never would have been able to hop on the computer if my house was a mess. But now… well here I am writing this post.

Anyway, I realized three things about myself.

First, I am looking at this mess and all I want to do is throw a party. I am a total child! Last year I was going to throw this big blow out party for my big 3-0. Well, it never happened. So this year I want to throw a big fiesta. Complete with piñata. I love birthday parties. Love them. And I love piñatas. Not really because of the candy, but because it is fun to break something open and see candy spill out. Anyway, I started party planning instead of packing. Typical me.

Like I said…a child.

Another thing, I am kind of lazy. Like, I work my butt off, and go go go, but when it comes down to it, if there is a possible short cut I can take, then I probably will. Like, I can buy an already cooked Rotisserie chicken to make soup, rather than make it myself, done!

So yeah, none of the boxes are taped on top. Just the bottom. Lazy!

And lastly, I am pretty social. Yesterday a friend came and helped me pack, and it was really fun. Today, no friend, no packing. I need people.

What does any of this have to do with food? Well, today I am going to share a recipe with you guys that is perfect for a party, super easy to make, and totally versatile. Basically a match made in heaven for my personality! A chili lime salsa, and burrito bowl!

What??

My party planning of course involves menu planning, which leads to recipe testing, and since it is a fiesta, there was salsa making. Delicious…delicious…salsa making!

You guys, this is probably the easiest salsa ever. (Catering to my lazy) You can make it in a food processor or blender. I prefer the food processor, but since I already packed mine, I used my blender this time.

I used Hunts canned tomatoes, which were perfect for this. So I just had to gather my ingredients, open a few cans, and put it in the food processor/blender. No chopping required for the perfect restaurant style salsa, and ideal party dip!

It is awesome as a dip, sauce, or topper (again, catering to my lazy side), and perfect for parties! See how I am making this work for my social side, and my child like side?

Anyway, after eating my weight in chips dipped in the stuff, I figured I should eat some veggies. So I made some Cilantro Lime Chicken, and then created these super tasty burrito bowls with the salsa as the topper! Yummy!

And it is totally perfect for a party because it is customizable, makes a lot, and is not expensive. Plus right now you can print this Hunt’s coupon to use on your next Walmart shopping trip; when you buy 3 get 1 free. Making this even cheaper!
