How to Make Texas Style Salsa

  1. Roughly chop 2-3 jalapeños (remove seeds for less heat) and ½ medium white onion. Pulse in a food processor until finely chopped but not pureed.
  2. Add 2 (28 ounce) cans of diced tomatoes, 1 teaspoon garlic salt, ½ teaspoon black pepper, ½ teaspoon ground cumin, and 1 teaspoon chili powder. Pulse a few times until just combined, leaving some texture.
  3. Add 2-4 cloves minced garlic (or more, to taste). Stir gently to combine.
  4. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. Serve immediately with tortilla chips for a classic pairing, or as a flavorful topping for baked potatoes (a delicious low-fat alternative to butter).
