Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 14.5 oz canned diced tomatoes (fire-roasted, if available)
- 1 medium jalapeño pepper
- 0.5 small onion
- 1 large garlic clove
- 0.25 cup fresh cilantro leaves
- 1 tbsp lime juice
- 0.5 tsp ground cumin
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 0.25 tsp sugar
Instructions
Rinse the cilantro leaves under cold water and pat them dry with a paper towel. Roughly chop them and set aside.
Cut the jalapeño pepper in half lengthwise and remove the seeds and membranes for a milder salsa, or leave them in for extra heat. Roughly chop the jalapeño.
Peel and roughly chop the garlic clove and half of the small onion.
In a food processor or blender, combine the canned diced tomatoes (with their juices), chopped jalapeño pepper, onion, garlic, cilantro leaves, lime juice, ground cumin, salt, and sugar.
Pulse the mixture in the food processor or blender in short intervals until the desired consistency is reached. For a smoother salsa, blend longer; for a chunkier texture, pulse briefly.
Taste and adjust the seasoning, adding more salt, lime juice, or jalapeño if needed.
Transfer the salsa to a bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Serve chilled with tortilla chips, tacos, or your favorite Mexican-inspired dishes.
