Ingredients

Yields 12 servings

  • ½ cup white onion (roughly chopped)
  • 1 clove garlic (roughly chopped)
  • ½ jalapeño (seeds and ribs removed, roughly chopped)
  • 10 ounce can diced tomatoes with green chilies (drained)
  • 14.5 ounce can fire roasted diced tomatoes (undrained)
  • ½ cup fresh cilantro leaves
  • juice from ½ of a lime (start with a small squeeze and add more, to taste)
  • ¼ teaspoon ground cumin
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • pinch of sugar (optional, to balance the acidity of the tomatoes)

Method

6 steps

  1. 1

    Add the onion, garlic, and jalapeño to the bowl of a food processor and pulse a few times to chop until the onion pieces are about ¼-inch size.

  2. 2

    Drain off the liquid from the can of diced tomatoes with green chilies and discard the liquid. Add the tomatoes and chilies from the can to the food processor.

  3. 3

    Add the fire roasted diced tomatoes with their juices from the can to the food processor, along with the fresh cilantro, lime juice (start with a small amount of lime juice and add more, to taste), ground cumin, salt and sugar.

  4. 4

    Pulse until the salsa reaches your desired consistency.

  5. 5

    Taste salsa on a tortilla chip and adjust the lime juice, salt, or sugar as needed.

  6. 6

    For the best taste, chill salsa in the refrigerator for at least 1-2 hours before serving to allow the flavors to develop.
