Instructions
Wash the Roma tomatoes, jalapeño, and cilantro thoroughly.
Roughly chop the Roma tomatoes and white onion into large chunks for easier blending.
Remove the seeds from the jalapeño if you prefer a milder salsa. If you like it spicier, leave them in.
Add the Roma tomatoes, canned fire-roasted tomatoes, white onion, garlic cloves, fresh cilantro, jalapeño, lime juice, ground cumin, salt, black pepper, and water to a blender or food processor.
Blend on high speed for 30 seconds to 1 minute, or until the salsa is smooth and thin in consistency.
Taste the salsa and adjust seasoning with additional salt or lime juice, if needed.
Transfer the salsa to a bowl or jar and refrigerate for at least 20 minutes before serving to let the flavors meld.
Serve chilled or at room temperature with tortilla chips, or use as a topping for tacos, nachos, or grilled dishes.
