Best Ever, Super Easy Salsa
Description
Best Ever, Super Easy Salsa mixes fire-roasted canned tomatoes, roasted red bell pepper, and mild green chiles with fresh red onion, cilantro, green onions, garlic, and jalapeño to bring balanced flavor and texture. Ground cumin, oregano, lime juice, and salt season the salsa, enhancing complexity without overpowering the fresh ingredients. Pulsing the mixture in a food processor allows control over texture, from chunky to smooth.
The result is a vibrant salsa with layers of smoky, mild heat and herbaceous brightness from cilantro and lime. It pairs well with tortilla chips, tacos, grilled meats, baked potatoes, or as a topping for soups and omelets, making it a versatile accompaniment.
This salsa can be adjusted for heat by including or removing jalapeño seeds, and seasoning can be fine-tuned to taste after blending.
Ingredients
- 2 ounce fire-roasted canned tomatoes canned, in cans
- 1 ounce roasted red bell pepper well-drained, jarred
- 1 ounce green chile these are not spicy, just add great flavor, undrained, canned
- ½ red onion roughly chopped, medium
- ½-1 cup cilantro leaves and stems, packed, fresh
- 6 medium green onions roughly cut in two inch pieces
- 3 medium garlic peeled, number missing
- 1-2 medium jalapeno pepper seeded (if you like a spicier flavor, leave the seeds in
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon cumin ground
- 1 teaspoon oregano dried
- 2 tablespoons lime juice fresh
Instructions
- Drain the tomatoes, reserving the juice.
- Combine all ingredients except reserved tomato juice in the bowl of a food processor. Pulse on and off until all ingredients are finely chopped and salsa is desired consistency. We like it a bit chunky, but if you like a smoother salsa, just keep pulsing. If you like a thinner salsa, add the reserved tomato juice and pulse one more time.
- Taste for seasoning and adjust as needed. Serve with chips, tacos or other Mexican entrees, as a baked potato or omelet topping, soup garnish, etc.
