Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 28 oz can whole tomatoes
  • 1 cup fresh cilantro
  • 1/4 cup red onion
  • 1-2 jalapenos
  • 1 lime juiced
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 1/2 teaspoon cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes*
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Method
 

  1. Place all ingredients in a blender or food processor (I prefer a food processor) and blend until it is a salsa texture (10-20 seconds)
  2. Serve room temperature or chilled with tortilla chips
  3. Keeps in a sealed container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks

Notes

*I add red pepper flakes/crushed red pepper if my jalapenos aren't hot. It gives it the extra kick without having to add more jalapenos and making the taste weird.
