Cuisine: Mexican
INGREDIENTS
- 2 14 ounce cans fire-roasted canned tomatoes puréed
- ½ cup roasted red pepper (jarred), packed
- 1 4-ounce can green chiles (these are not spicy, just add great flavor)
- ½ small red onion, roughly chopped
- ½ cup fresh cilantro (leaves and stems), packed
- 6 medium green (spring) onions, cut in two inch pieces
- 3 medium cloves garlic, peeled
- 1-2 small jalapeño, seeded (if you like a spicier flavor, leaves the seeds in)
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
INSTRUCTIONS
- Drain the tomatoes, reserving the juice.
- Combine all ingredients except reserved tomato juice in the bowl of a food processor. Pulse on and off until all ingredients are finely chopped and salsa is desired consistency. We like it a bit chunky, but if you like a smoother salsa, just keep pulsing. If you like a thinner salsa, add a small amount of the reserved tomato juice and pulse one more time.
- Taste for seasoning and adjust as needed. Serve with chips, tacos or other Mexican entrees, as a baked potato or omelet topping, soup garnish, etc.
