Ingredients

  • 28 oz fire roasted tomatoes* two 14oz cans
  • 2 jalapeño peppers** seeded and roughly chopped
  • 1/4 large onion roughly chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic roughly chopped
  • 1/2 cup cilantro roughly chopped
  • 2 tbsp lime juice from 1 lime
  • 1/2 tsp cumin
  • 1/2 tsp salt or to taste

Instructions

  • Drain the juices from your canned tomatoes. If you prefer your salsa thinner, reserve the juices. Roughly chop the ingredients and add them to a blender or food processor.
  • Pulse the ingredients until you've reached your desired consistency. Pulse some of the reserved tomato juice into the salsa if you'd like it thinner. Pour into a bowl and serve.

Notes

*Drain the tomatoes for a thicker salsa as you see in my photos. Keep the juice if you'd like a thinner salsa.
**Use more, less, or no peppers at all as per your spice tolerance.
Keep in mind the nutritional information is an estimate and may vary depending on the ingredients you use.
