Ingredients

  • 30 ounces fire roasted diced tomatoes (2) 15 ounce cans, undrained; see notes for substitutions
  • 1/2 white onion chopped
  • 2 large cloves garlic minced
  • 1 large jalapeño seeded and chopped
  • 1/2 cup cilantro leaves
  • 1 lime juiced; about 2 tablespoons
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt or to taste

Instructions 

  • Place the diced tomatoes, onion, garlic, jalapeño, cilantro, lime juice and salt in the bowl of a food processor fitted with the blade attachment.
    30 ounces fire roasted diced tomatoes, 1/2 white onion, 2 large cloves garlic, 1 large jalapeño, 1/2 cup cilantro leaves, 1 lime, 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • Pulse until the salsa reaches the desired consistency, then taste and adjust the seasoning as necessary.

Notes

  • Pro tip:  Use diced tomatoes with green chilies added and omit the jalapeño to cut down the ingredients list.  Be aware that the chilies may be spicy!
  • Fire roasted diced tomatoes add a ton of flavor.  Regular diced tomatoes, crushed tomatoes and whole tomatoes in their juice work in this recipe as well.
  • Substitute the jalapeño with your favorite green chilies such as serrano, hatch, anaheim or poblano peppers.  Pickled jalapeños are also a great substitute, or use canned green chilies in a pinch.
  • Not a fan of cilantro?  Substitute the onion with 3-4 large green onions.  The green tops are a great way to add fresh flavor in place of the cilantro.
  • Store restaurant style salsa in the refrigerator for up to 5 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
