Ingredients

Servings
  • 28 ounce can whole plum tomatoes including juice
  • 1 small white onion peeled and roughly chopped
  • 1 or 2 Jalapeno peppers seeded and chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic chopped
  • 1 1/2 tsp ground cumin or to taste
  • 1 tsp kosher salt or to taste
  • 1/4 to 1 tsp granulated sugar optional, and to taste
  • 1 or 2 handfuls cilantro this is probably 1 or 2 cups worth
  • 3 Tbsp lime juice fresh is best

Instructions

  1. Add all ingredients to a food processor. Pulse a few times to break up larger pieces, then process until texture is mostly smooth (or as smooth or chunky as you'd like).
  2. Taste the salsa and based on personal preference, adjust salt/sugar levels as necessary.
  3. Transfer to airtight container and refrigerate for a couple of hours for best flavor.
  4. Serve with tortilla chips and enjoy!

Notes

  •  
  • Recipe makes approximately 4 cups.
  • I've estimated this will serve about 12, with roughly 1/3 cup as the serving size.
  • I remove the seeds from my jalapeño peppers to reduce the heat level. This way you'll get all the fresh jalapeño flavor and some heat, but not a crazy amount of heat.
  • If you'd like, you could stir in some corn kernels, black beans, or chopped tomatoes for extra texture and flavor.
