Restaurant Style Salsa
Description
Restaurant Style Salsa uses canned tomatoes and jalapeños along with onion, garlic, lime juice, and spices to create a flavorful and versatile salsa. This recipe blends these ingredients until mostly smooth, producing a texture that is easy to scoop and spreads easily on chips or tacos. The inclusion of cumin and lime juice provides a warm earthiness and brightness to the salsa, with the jalapeños contributing measured heat that can be adjusted to taste.
The salsa's flavor deepens as it sits, allowing the jalapeño heat to mellow and spice to develop, making it suitable for preparing in advance. It's a practical condiment that can complement various Mexican or Tex-Mex meals, from dipping snacks to toppings for grilled meats or eggs.
Storing the salsa in the refrigerator for up to five days maintains freshness while allowing flavor integration. Optional cilantro can add a fresh herbal note if desired, offering customization based on preference.
Ingredients
- 15 ounces whole peeled tomatoes canned
- 2 teaspoons jalapeño canned, diced
- 1/2 large onion chopped
- 1 clove garlic
- 2 teaspoons lime juice
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup cilantro optional
Instructions
- Add everything to a blender or food processor and process until mostly smooth.
- Taste and add additional salt or lime juice as desired. Add additional jalapeno as desired, keeping in mind that the salsa will get spicier the longer it sits.

Notes
- Use fresh lime juice for best flavor; bottled lime juice is acceptable as a substitute.
- Adjust jalapeño amount to control the salsa's spiciness, noting it intensifies over time in the refrigerator.
