How to Make Salsa Tex Mex Style

  1. Roughly chop 1 cup of fresh cilantro, ½ medium white onion, 1-2 jalapeños (remove seeds for less heat), and 2 cloves garlic.
  2. Combine the chopped cilantro, onion, jalapeños, and garlic with 2 ounces of water in a blender. Blend until smooth.
  3. Add one 10-ounce can of Rotel diced tomatoes and green chilies (undrained) and one 14.5-ounce can of diced tomatoes (undrained) to the blender. Blend until desired consistency is reached.
  4. Add 1 tablespoon of lime juice, ½ teaspoon of cumin, ½ teaspoon of salt, and ¼ teaspoon of black pepper. Blend briefly to combine. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed (add more lime juice for extra zing, jalapeño for more heat, or salt to taste).
  5. Pour the salsa into a small saucepan and bring to a gentle simmer over medium-low heat. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, to allow the flavors to meld.
  6. Remove from heat and let cool completely before refrigerating for at least 30 minutes to allow flavors to fully develop. The salsa will taste even better the next day!
  7. Serve with your favorite tortilla chips (white corn tortilla chips are highly recommended!). Enjoy!
