Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 lb Roma tomatoes, halved or quartered
- 12 oz canned petite diced tomatoes, with their juice
- 1/2 cup white onion, chopped
- 1 jalapeno pepper, roughly chopped and seeded
- 1/3 cup fresh cilantro
- 2 cloves garlic, roughly chopped
- 1 Tbsp lime juice (from 1/2 fresh lime)
- 1/2 tsp chili powder
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- 2 tsp salt, adjust to taste
Instructions
- Prepare Ingredients: Gather and prepare all ingredients by halving or quartering the Roma tomatoes, chopping the white onion, roughly chopping and seeding the jalapeño, and roughly chopping the garlic and fresh cilantro for easy processing.
- Blend Salsa: Place all ingredients into a food processor or high-speed blender. Pulse in 2-second bursts until the salsa reaches a fine texture. Be careful not to over blend to avoid turning it into a puree; you want some texture remaining.
- Chill for Flavor Development: Transfer the salsa to a container, cover it, and refrigerate for a couple of hours. This resting time allows the flavors to meld beautifully for an enhanced taste experience.
- Serve: Serve chilled with tortilla chips, tacos, or as a flavorful topping for your favorite Mexican dishes.
Notes
- Adjust the amount of jalapeño to control the salsa’s heat level.
- Using a food processor or blender is crucial for achieving the right texture.
- Refrigerating the salsa before serving improves its flavor and freshness.
- This salsa can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
