Ingredients

  • 1 (14.5 oz can) diced tomatoes
  • 1 (10 oz can) diced tomatoes with chilies
  • 1/2 cup onion chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic
  • 1 jalapeno seeded and chopped
  • Juice of 1 lime
  • 1/2-1 teaspoon salt
  • small handful cilantro

Instructions

  • Combine all of your ingredients into a blender of food processor. 
  • Pulse until combined. I find that four or five pulses give us a great consistency. 
  • Taste your salsa and add additional salt or cumin as needed.
  • Chill and serve.

Notes

    • I like to drain my tomatoes before adding into the blender. This gives you a less watered down salsa but is optional. 
    • Use a quality blender or food processor. 
    • Add smaller amounts of cilantro during the first pulse. Taste and add more if needed. 
    • Remember that this recipe starts to taste more bold the longer it sits. Adding a lot of the powerful flavors in the beginning could lead to a very robust end flavor.
