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.
