Ingredients

  • (2) 14 ounce cans diced fire roasted tomatoes see Notes for options
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 3/4 cup red onion, roughly chopped
  • 1/2 cup packed cilantro
  • 2 fresh jalapenos, seeds removed and roughly chopped
  • 3 tablespoons fresh lime juice, from about 2 small limes
  • 1 teaspoon salt, or to taste

Instructions

  • Add all ingredients to a blender or food processor. Pulse a few times until you reach your desired consistency. Don't over blend; you still want a little texture.
  • Taste the salsa, and based on your personal preference, adjust ingredients as necessary. Add more salt, cilantro, or perhaps more jalapeno if desired.
  • Transfer to an airtight container and store in the fridge until serving. Serve with tortilla chips, in burritos, nachos, bowls or anywhere else you enjoy salsa.

Notes

  1. I like Muir Glen Diced and Fire Roasted Canned Tomatoes the best for this salsa. You may also use any other high quality canned diced, plum or stewed tomatoes. Or go fresh and use about 3 cups of fresh ripe tomatoes instead!
