Ingredients

  • Two 10-ounce cans diced tomatoes and green chiles, such as Rotel
  • One 28-ounce can whole tomatoes with juice
  • 1/2 cup fresh cilantro leaves (or more to taste!)
  • 1/4 cup chopped onion
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 whole jalapeno, quartered and sliced thin, with seeds and membrane
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon sugar
  • 1/2 whole lime, juiced

Instructions

  1. Place the diced tomatoes, whole tomatoes, cilantro, onions, garlic, jalapeno, cumin, salt, sugar, and lime juice into a blender or food processor. (This is a large batch. It's best to use a 12-cup food processor, or you can blend the ingredients in batches and then combine everything in a large mixing bowl.)
  2. Pulse the mixture until the salsa reaches your preferred texture. About 10 to 15 pulses usually works well. Taste the salsa with a tortilla chip and adjust the seasonings if needed.
  3. Chill the salsa in the refrigerator for at least one hour before serving.
