Homemade Salsa

Do you love Salsa???   I mean do you really love Salsa like we do????

I could sit and eat a jar of salsa in one sitting, literally, I have to control myself and hide the chips and the jar, or find someone to share it with.

But, I don't really care for store bought salsa's, one look at the list of ingredients in the back and it makes me cringe, if I can't pronounce it why would I want to eat it???

Here's the homemade salsa I make, it's SO quick, SO simple and SO delicious.  You can adjust the heat, you can make mild by omitting the jalapenos OR make it hotter by adding more.  Totally up to you.

Homemade Salsa

1 (14.5 oz.) Can Tomatoes and Green Chilies, undrained
1 (14.5 oz.) Can Whole Peeled Tomatoes, undrained
1 Tbsp. Jalapenos (I use the canned type, you can even use the ones that are for nachos)
1/4 cup (half a medium) Onion, diced
1/2 Garlic Salt
1/2 tsp. Cumin
1/4 tsp. Sugar
Fresh Cilantro


In food processor place jalapenos and onions, both cans of tomatoes, salt, sugar, and cumin.  Process for a few seconds at a time, you don't want to puree it.  Add a few leaves of fresh cilantro, again, just go with how much you want in there or according to your family's taste.  We love cilantro so I add quite a bit.

Process all ingredients until well blended but do not puree. Place in covered container and chill. A couple of hours of chilling will help blend and enrich the flavor.

Serve with your favorite tortilla chips.

I love serving mine in this beautiful dish that I purchased from this little store chock full of Mexican Handmade pottery.
