How to Make Simple Amazing Salsa

  1. Roughly chop 1-2 jalapeños (remove seeds for less heat), ½ medium red onion, and 1-4 cloves garlic (depending on your preference).
  2. Combine the jalapeños, onion, and garlic in a food processor and pulse until finely chopped but not completely pureed. You want some texture!
  3. Add 1 (14.5 ounce) can fire-roasted diced tomatoes (or 2 cups fresh, diced tomatoes), ½ cup chopped cilantro, and a pinch of salt. Pulse until your desired consistency is reached.
  4. For the best flavor, cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. Even better if you let it chill for a few hours!
