Ingredients
1 can (28 ounces) fire roasted tomatoes drained for chunkier salsa
1 jalapeño ribs and seeds removed
Juice of 1 lime (approximately 2½ to 3 tablespoons)
1 small white onion cut into chunks
½ bunch fresh cilantro
1 can (4 ounces) diced green chilies drained
3 cloves fresh garlic
2 teaspoons sugar (optional)
1½ teaspoons cumin powder
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon oregano
½ teaspoon chili powder (optional omit for milder salsa)
Instructions
1-Getting started: Getting started with this blender salsa is as easy as pulling out your blender. Begin by gathering and rinsing all your fresh ingredients to keep things clean and tasty. This step ensures no unwanted bits sneak in and helps everything blend smoothly.
2-Next: core and roughly chop your tomatoes and onion to make blending easier. Then, toss the tomatoes, onion, garlic, jalapeño, cilantro, and lime juice into the blender. Use the pulse function to control the texture, aiming for that chunky feel without turning it into soup.
3-Once blended: season with salt and give it a quick stir. Taste as you go and adjust if needed, like adding more lime for extra zing. For those wanting changes, skip the jalapeño for a milder version or amp up the herbs. Finally, move the salsa to a bowl and let it chill for about 30 minutes so the flavors mix well. Serve it fresh, and you’ll see why it’s a go-to for quick meals that impress.
