Ingredients
- 14 oz Organic Diced Fire Roasted Tomatoes or regular diced tomatoes
- 10 oz original Rotel
- 10 oz Mild Rotel
- 1/2 small red onion rough chopped
- 1 - 3 cloves garlic peeled and smashed

- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
- 1/2 teaspoon ground pepper
- 1 medium lime juiced
- cilantro small to medium handful of fresh cilantro, washed and chopped
Instructions
- Simply pour all of your ingredients into a blender and pulse a few times until chunkier ingredients are chopped small. Pour into jars and store in fridge!
- Or if you have one and want to be a bit more authentic and rustic, try making it in a molcajete (mortar and pestle); however you'll have to do it in batches.

Notes
- HOW LONG WILL BLENDER SALSA LAST
- Easily "mock" can the blender salsa but pouring it into jars and storing in the refrigerator for up to about 1 week. This is a great article on how long salsas will last. Not that it will last that long, we went through 3 jars in just 2 days! It made a total of four 13 oz jars of salsa.
- CAN I USE DIFFERENT TYPES OF TOMATOES?
- Absolutely you can use different tomatoes. Try fire roasted, regular, no salt...whatever you'd like. I used one can of original and one mild Rotel tomatoes, change that up too!
- Well, the easiest way is keeping the seeds in your jalapeno! That is what brings the heat. Simply, wash, slice off the top and rough chop your whole jalapeno seeds and all! Try Rotel with Chipotle peppers, more of a kick!
- Instead of using Rotel, try using 3 cans of diced tomatoes (14 oz ea) plus 3 cans (4 oz ea) of organic diced green chilies (mild or a mixture of hot and mild) plus about 1/2 teaspoon each of onion powder, garlic powder, oregano, cumin and a little extra salt.
- Add salsa to shredded chicken, beef or pork for a delicious Mexican flavored meat.
- Mix a few spoonfuls into homemade or store bought guacamole for extra flavor, texture and spice.
- Pour over chicken breasts or thighs and bake. Or pour over baked or grilled chicken fresh.
- Serve alongside my Creamy Queso Dip! See post for more delicious Mexican recipes!
