Directions

Step 1

Drain one can of Rotel diced tomatoes with green chilies while leaving the liquid in the other can.

Step 3

Squeeze the juice of one lime into the mixture.

Step 4

Add salt, ground cumin, and sugar to the blender.

Pulse the mixture several times until you reach your desired consistency. For a chunkier salsa, pulse less; for a smoother salsa, pulse more.
