How to Make Thin Salsa

  1. Drain one 28-ounce can of diced tomatoes, reserving about 1/2 cup of the juice.
  2. Combine all ingredients in a food processor or blender.
  3. Pulse until desired consistency is reached. For a smooth salsa, blend longer; for a chunkier salsa, pulse less.
  4. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Add more lime juice for tanginess, or cayenne for heat.
  5. Serve immediately with your favorite tortilla chips. Thin tortilla chips are highly recommended!
