Ingredients
- 28 ounce can whole tomatoes, drained
- 2 10-ounce cans Rotel
- ½ small onion roughly chopped
- 1 clove garlic roughly chopped
- 1 jalepeño seeds removed and thinly sliced
- ½ cup cilantro loosely packed
- ½ lime juiced
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon granulated sugar
- ¼ teaspoon ground cumin
Instructions
- Add all ingredients to a food processor. Pulse until it reaches your desired consistency (less for a chunkier salsa, more for a thinner one - my salsa pictured above was 8 to 10 pulses).
- Refrigerate for at least one hour, then serve with your favorite tortilla chips. This salsa can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
Cup of Yum
Notes
- Nutritional values are based on one cup of salsa
- Rotel is a common canned product found in the U.S. - it is a mixture of diced tomatoes and green chiles. If you cannot find it, feel free to substitute an equal amount of canned diced tomatoes and green chiles.
- This makes a large quantity, so if you are using a food processor with less than an 11-cup capacity, work in batches.
