Directions

Step 1

In a large bowl, combine the frozen diced tomatoes, diced onions, bell peppers, and corn kernels. Let them sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes to partially thaw.

Step 2

While the frozen ingredients are thawing, finely chop the jalapeño and mince the garlic if not already prepared.

Step 3

Once thawed, drain off any excess liquid from the frozen vegetables to prevent the salsa from being watery.

Step 4

Add lime juice, chopped cilantro, jalapeño, and minced garlic to the bowl of vegetables. Stir well to combine.

Step 5

Season the mixture with salt, cumin powder, smoked paprika, and black pepper. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.

Step 6

Transfer the salsa to a serving dish and let it sit for 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.

Step 7

Serve immediately with tortilla chips, or refrigerate for up to 2 days. Enjoy this quick and flavorful salsa!
