Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 15 oz Canned diced tomatoes
- 10 oz Canned Rotel (diced tomatoes with green chilies)
- 0.5 cups Fresh cilantro
- 1 tbsp Fresh lime juice
- 1 medium Garlic clove
- 1 medium Jalapeño
- 0.25 medium Onion (white or yellow)
- 1 tsp Granulated sugar
- 0.5 tsp Ground cumin
- 0.25 tsp Salt
Instructions
In a food processor or blender, add the canned diced tomatoes (with their juice), canned Rotel, and fresh cilantro leaves.
Add the fresh lime juice, peeled garlic clove, jalapeño (stem removed, seeds optional based on preferred spice level), and quartered onion.
Add the granulated sugar, ground cumin, and salt.
Pulse the mixture several times until the salsa reaches your desired consistency. For a smoother texture, blend more; for chunkier salsa, pulse less.
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Add more salt or lime juice as desired.
Transfer the salsa to a bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. This step is optional but recommended.
Serve with tortilla chips, or use as a topping for tacos, burritos, or grilled meats. Enjoy!
