How to Make Salsa Superior

  1. Mince the garlic, finely chop the onion, and mince the jalapeño. Remove seeds from the jalapeño for less heat.
  2. In a food processor, combine the garlic, onion, and jalapeño. Pulse until finely chopped but not pureed (about 30 seconds).
  3. Transfer the mixture to a large bowl.
  4. In the same food processor, combine the crushed tomatoes, cilantro, and tomato paste. Process until the cilantro is finely chopped but not pureed (about 1 minute).
  5. Add the processed tomato mixture to the bowl with the onions, garlic, and jalapeños.
  6. Stir in the diced tomatoes (undrained), lime juice, cumin, and oregano.
  7. Mix well to combine all ingredients.
  8. Season generously with salt and pepper to taste.
  9. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours to allow the flavors to meld. The longer it chills, the better it tastes!
