Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 28 oz Canned diced tomatoes
- 10 oz Canned Rotel (diced tomatoes with green chilies)
- 0.5 cups Fresh cilantro leaves
- 0.5 medium Onion
- 1 large Garlic cloves
- 1 medium Jalapeño
- 0.5 tsp Ground cumin
- 0.75 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Sugar
- 1 tbsp Fresh lime juice
Instructions
Drain the canned diced tomatoes and Rotel slightly to remove excess liquid.
In a food processor or blender, combine the canned diced tomatoes, Rotel, cilantro, onion, garlic, jalapeño, ground cumin, salt, sugar, and lime juice.
Pulse the mixture in short bursts until the salsa reaches your desired consistency. Blend briefly for a chunkier salsa or more extensively for a smoother texture.
Taste the salsa and adjust seasoning as needed, adding more salt, lime juice, or jalapeño for extra heat.
Transfer the salsa to a serving bowl. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to let the flavors meld if time permits.
Serve with tortilla chips, tacos, or any dish that calls for a flavorful salsa.
