Ingredients
- ½ white onion
- 1 garlic clove
- 2 jalapeños
- 1 tomato
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- ¼ cup tomato sauce
- ½ cup chicken broth
- ¼ teaspoon salt (plus more to taste)
- 1 pinch ground black pepper
Instructions
- Wash and chop the jalapeños, tomato, and white onion into bite-sized pieces. Mince the garlic.
- Heat the olive oil in a small pot on medium heat. Sauté the garlic and onion for about minute, making sure not to burn either the garlic or the onion.
- Add the chopped jalapeño and sauté for another 2 minutes.
- Add the chopped tomato and cook for another 30 seconds.
- Add the tomato sauce and chicken broth.
- Season with ¼ teaspoon of salt and a pinch of pepper.
- Bring to a simmer. Let the salsa simmer for about 6 minutes until the jalapeños are somewhat tender and the sauce has slightly thickened.
- Taste for seasoning and adjust salt to your preference.

Notes
- For Whole30, use a compatible brand of chicken broth or make your own. The same goes for the tomato sauce.
- For a spicier salsa, add one or two chopped serranos.
- For a milder salsa, use only one jalapeño and add an additional tomato. Another option to lessen the heat is to scoop out the veins and seeds with a spoon from the inside of the chiles.
- Easily double or triple the ingredients to make a larger quantity.
- Use fresh, ripe Roma tomatoes for the best tasting salsa.
