Ingredients

  • 2 cans of diced tomatoes ( one fire roasted if you want smokey)
  • 1 a white onion
  • 2 Juice of 2 limes
  • 1 tbsp of garlic salt
  • 1 cup of cilantro
  • 1/2 jalapeño
  • 1 tbsp salt or salt to taste

Instructions

  • Add diced tomatoes, onion, lime juice, garlic salt, cilantro, jalapeño, and salt to a blender.
  • Pulse until your desired consistency — smooth or chunky.
  • Taste and adjust salt, lime, or cilantro if needed.
  • Chill for at least 20 minutes before serving to let flavors meld.

Notes

  • For a thicker salsa, drain one can of tomatoes before blending.
  • Want more heat? Leave in some jalapeño seeds, or add a serrano pepper.
  • For a smoky, restaurant style flavor, use fire roasted tomatoes.
  • If your tomatoes taste acidic, add a pinch of sugar to balance it out.
  • Tastes even better after chilling, store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
