Prep Time 10 minutes
Total Time 10 minutes
Ingredients
- 1 can (28 ounces) Whole Tomatoes with Juice
- 2 cans (10 ounces each) Rotel Diced Tomatoes and Green Chilies
- 1/4 cup Chopped White Onion
- 1 clove Garlic, Minced
- 1 whole Jalapeño, Quartered and Thinly Sliced (adjust to taste for heat)
- 1/4 teaspoon Sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon Salt (or more to taste)
- 1/4 teaspoon Ground Cumin
- 1/2 cup Fresh Cilantro, roughly chopped (add more to taste!)
- 1/2 whole Lime, juiced
Instructions
- Combine whole tomatoes, Rotel, chopped onion, jalapeño, minced garlic, sugar, salt, cumin, lime juice, and cilantro in a blender or food processor.
- Pulse the mixture until you reach your desired salsa consistency. For a chunkier salsa, pulse less; for a smoother salsa, pulse more.
- Taste the salsa with a tortilla chip and adjust seasonings as needed. Add more salt, lime juice, or cilantro to your preference. For extra heat, add a bit more jalapeño or a pinch of cayenne pepper.
- Refrigerate the salsa for at least one hour before serving to allow the flavors to meld together beautifully. Chilling also helps to thicken the salsa slightly.
