Homemade Salsa

I am not a fan of store bought salsa, and I like a smooth texture. This salsa is the best of both worlds.  You can blend it smooth, or make it with more texture by pulsing just a few times.


2   10 oz cans diced tomatoes with green chile's
1    28 oz can whole tomatoes with juice
1/2 cup fresh cilantro
1/4 cup chopped onions
2 cloves of garlic minced
1 whole jalapeno sliced thin with seeds and membrane  use 1 1/2- 2 for more heat

1/4 tsp cumin
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp sugar
1 lime juiced



Combine all ingredients in order in food processor.  Pulse until desired consistency.  I do about 10-15 pulses.  Refrigerate salsa for 1-2 hours before serving to combine flavors.

   You can also make this in a blender.  Combine all ingredients and then spoon into blender in batches.  Then combine all batches together in large bowl and refrigerate 1-2 hours before serving.

Serve with tortilla chips
