Homemade Salsa

Once you have this homemade salsa, you'll never buy store bought again! It's so easy to make and taste like restuarant quality salsa. It makes a lot, so I typically half the recipe if I'm only making it for our family.

Ingredients:

1 can (28 Ounce) Whole Tomatoes With Juice

2 cans (10 Ounce) Rotel (diced Tomatoes And Green Chilies)

1/4 cup Chopped Onion

1 clove Garlic, Minced

1 whole Jalapeno, Quartered And Sliced Thin

1/4 teaspoon Sugar

1/4 teaspoon Salt

1/4 teaspoon Ground Cumin

1/2 cup Cilantro (more To Taste!)

1/2 whole Lime Juice

Instructions:

Note: this is a very large batch. 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.

Combine whole tomatoes, 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 do about 10 to 15 pulses. Test seasonings with a tortilla chip and adjust as needed.

Refrigerate salsa for at least an hour. Serve with tortilla chips or cheese nachos.

*l use one can of Hot Rotel and one can of Orginal Rotel.

Cooking Tips

#1 

Remember, y'all, it’s all about the prep. Take away the stress by doing the prep the night or day before. 

#2

For best results when you're baking, leave butter and eggs at room temperature overnight.

 

#3

When chopping herbs, toss a little salt onto the cutting board; it will keep the herbs from flying around.
