Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 pieces Roma tomatoes
- 14.5 ounces Canned fire-roasted diced tomatoes
- 1 medium-sized Red onion
- 1 piece Jalapeno
- 2 pieces Garlic cloves
- 1 small bunch Fresh cilantro
- 2 tablespoons Fresh lime juice
- 1 teaspoon Cumin
- 1 teaspoon Kosher salt
- 1 pinch Sugar
Instructions
Rinse and dry the Roma tomatoes, red onion, and cilantro before use.
Cut the Roma tomatoes into quarters. Peel the red onion and cut it into large chunks. Slice the jalapeno in half lengthwise, removing the seeds for less heat if desired.
In a blender or food processor, combine the Roma tomatoes, canned fire-roasted diced tomatoes (including the liquid), red onion chunks, jalapeno halves, garlic cloves, and fresh cilantro leaves (discarding the stems).
Add the fresh lime juice, cumin, kosher salt, and sugar to the blender or food processor.
Blend or pulse the mixture to your desired level of chunkiness. If you prefer a smooth salsa, blend until smooth; for a chunky version, pulse briefly several times.
Taste the salsa and adjust seasoning if needed, adding more salt, lime juice, or jalapeno for heat.
Transfer the salsa to a bowl or airtight container and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Serve with tortilla chips, or use as a topping for tacos, enchiladas, or grilled meats. Enjoy!
