Ingredients

• 28 ounces Canned whole tomatoes
• 10 ounces Canned diced tomatoes with green chilies (Rotel)
• 1 medium-sized, roughly chopped Red onion
• 0.5 cups Fresh cilantro
• 1 medium, seeded and chopped Fresh jalapeño
• 2 tablespoons Fresh lime juice
• 1 clove, minced Garlic clove
• 1 teaspoon Sugar
• 0.5 teaspoons Ground cumin
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

In a food processor or blender, combine the canned whole tomatoes (including their juices) and the diced tomatoes with green chilies.

Step 2

Add the chopped red onion, fresh cilantro, chopped jalapeño, fresh lime juice, and minced garlic to the processor.

Step 3

Sprinkle in the sugar, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper.

Step 4

Pulse the food processor or blender several times until the ingredients reach your desired consistency. For a chunkier salsa, pulse fewer times; for a smoother salsa, process longer.

Step 5

Taste the salsa and adjust seasoning, adding more salt or lime juice if needed.

Step 6

Transfer the salsa to a serving bowl or an airtight container. For best flavor, refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving to allow the flavors to meld.

Step 7

Serve with tortilla chips or as a topping for tacos, burritos, or grilled meats.
