The Best Salsa Ever

I found this recipe at thismommycooks.blogspot.com

I was starting to give up on making my own salsa.  I don't like chunky style salsa,  I like a blended consistency.  This recipe is exactly what I like and I loved it so much I won't buy the store brand again unless i have to.  Try this recipe you will love it. 

  

INGREDIENTS:

1 can (28 Ounce) Whole Tomatoes With Juice
2 cans (10 Ounce) Rotel (I used mild in this recipe)
1/4 cup Chopped Onion
1 clove Garlic, Minced
1 whole Jalapeno, (I seeded it and chopped it. I also bought the biggest jalapeño i could find and it wasn't spicy
1/4 teaspoon Sugar
1/4 teaspoon Salt
1/4 teaspoon Ground Cumin
1/2 cup Cilantro
1/2 whole Lime Juice

Note: this is a very large batch. I recommend using a 12-cup food processor, or you can process the ingredients in batches and then mix everything together in a large mixing bowl.


PRINTABLE RECIPE

Combine Rotel, onion, jalapeno, garlic, sugar, salt, cumin, lime juice, and cilantro in a blender or food processor. Pulse until you get the salsa to the consistency you'd like---I did about 10 to 15 pulses. Then add the can of whole tomatoes and process until blended. Test seasonings with a tortilla chip and adjust as needed.

It is recommended to refrigerate salsa for at least an hour, but I didn't do this and it still tasted great. This salsa has kept very well in my fridge for a couple of weeks.

YUMMMM

These are the tomatoes and rotel I used.

white onion, 1/2 a lime, 1 garlic clove and cilantro.

I forgot to take a picture of my jumbo Jalapeño.

I didn't think this salsa was spicy. My son would of liked it spicier.

You could add another jalapeño or get rotel hot flavor. 

This is how much it makes plus a large bowl that we ate after I made it.
