Ingredients
- 2-3 garlic cloves
- 1 medium onion, roughly chopped
- ½ cup Fresh cilantro
- 4 ripe tomatoes, roughly chopped
- 1 can diced tomatoes
- 1-2 jalapeños, seeded and chopped (adjust for heat preference)
- Juice of 1-2 limes
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the Ingredients: Roughly chop the garlic, onion, tomatoes, cilantro, and jalapeño. If you're using fresh tomatoes, make sure they’re cut into large chunks.
- Add to Food Processor: Place the garlic, onion, tomatoes, canned tomatoes, cilantro, and jalapeño into the food processor or blender. Add the lime juice, salt, and pepper.
- Blend Until Desired Consistency: Pulse the ingredients a few times to chop them up. For a chunkier salsa, pulse briefly until the ingredients are just broken down. For a smoother salsa, blend longer until you reach your desired consistency.
- Taste and Adjust: Taste the salsa and adjust the seasoning with more salt, pepper, or lime juice if needed.
- Serve or Store: Pour the salsa into a bowl and serve immediately, or let it sit for 15-20 minutes to allow the flavors to blend even more. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week
