Ingredients
- 1 can (10 oz) Ro-Tel diced tomatoes with green chilies
- 2 medium roma tomatoes
- 0.5 medium red onion
- 1 small jalapeño pepper
- 0.5 cup (packed) fresh cilantro
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 1 large garlic clove
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon (or to taste) salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Drain the can of Ro-Tel diced tomatoes with green chilies, reserving the liquid in case you prefer a thinner salsa later.
Step 2
Chop the roma tomatoes into quarters, and roughly chop the red onion, jalapeño (remove seeds for less heat), and garlic clove.
Step 3
Add the Ro-Tel, roma tomatoes, red onion, jalapeño, cilantro, lime juice, cumin, salt, and black pepper to a food processor or blender.
Step 4
Pulse the mixture until it reaches your desired consistency—less time for a chunky salsa, more for smooth.
Step 5
Taste the salsa and adjust seasoning (salt, lime juice, or spice) as needed. If the salsa is too thick, you can mix in some of the reserved Ro-Tel liquid to thin it out.
Step 6
Transfer the salsa to a serving bowl and let it sit for 10-15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld, or refrigerate until ready to serve.
Step 7
Serve with tortilla chips, over tacos, or as a topping for your favorite Mexican-inspired dishes.
