Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 14.5 oz canned diced tomatoes
- 14.5 oz canned fire-roasted tomatoes
- 0.5 medium yellow onion
- 1 whole jalapeño
- 2 whole garlic cloves
- 0.5 cup fresh cilantro
- 1 whole lime
- 0.5 tsp cumin
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 0.5 tsp sugar
Instructions
Drain the canned diced tomatoes to remove excess liquid. Leave the fire-roasted tomatoes un-drained.
Peel and roughly chop the onion and garlic.
Remove the stem from the jalapeño, and for less heat, remove the seeds and membrane. For spicier salsa, leave them in.
Add the drained diced tomatoes, fire-roasted tomatoes, onion, jalapeño, garlic, and fresh cilantro to a food processor or blender.
Juice the lime and add the juice to the blender.
Add the cumin, salt, and sugar for seasoning.
Pulse the mixture in the blender or food processor, using short bursts, until the salsa reaches your desired texture. For chunky salsa, pulse lightly; for smoother salsa, blend longer.
Taste the salsa and adjust seasoning as needed. Add more salt or lime juice if desired.
Transfer the salsa to a bowl or jar, cover, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow flavors to meld.
Serve chilled with tortilla chips or as a topping for tacos, burritos, or any dish you like!
