Best Canned Tomato Salsa
Jalapenos are the most popular chile peppers in the US. This is probably due to the availability and versatility of the chile. Jalapenos have a balanced combination of flavor and heat.
The demand for these have caused breeders to develop a broad range of varieties. You can now get jalapenos with various heat level and sizes. These can be used in salsas, stuffed, or eaten straight with cheeseburgers (my personal favorite).
Ingredients:
2 (14 1/2 oz) cans diced tomatoes
1 medium onion
4 cloves garlic
1 jalapeño pepper, deseeded
2 tsp freshly squeezed lime juice
1 tsp salt
1 tsp freshly cracked black pepper
1 tsp granulated garlic
6 tbsp cilantro
Instructions:
Strain tomatoes and reserve juice. Roughly chop onion, fresh garlic, and jalapeño. Add to food processor fitted with a metal blade. Add juice from tomatoes, lime juice, salt, pepper, and granulated garlic. Process on high for about 30 seconds. Add about 1/2 cup of diced tomatoes and process on low for an extra 5 seconds. Add remaining tomatoes and cilantro and pulse until desired consistency is reached. It’s ready to serve immediately, but you can also let it chill in the refrigerator overnight to let the flavors combine.
