Food Friday: Quick Easy Restaurant-like Salsa

Salsa goes well with many things besides corn chips.  Baked potatoes, scrambled eggs, stew, mashed potatoes, just about any casserole.

Here is a very quick and easy one.  The original recipe is here. 

The little tin with invisible label at the bottom of the photo is the tinned jalapenos.  It was Ortega brand, I am pretty sure.

What you need:

• 1 can fire roasted tomatoes
• 1 can Rotel tomatoes
• 3 cloves garlic which you have peeled
• 1 cup fresh washed cilantro (about ½ a bunch or less if you are not such a fan of cilantro)
• 2 Tablespoons canned chopped jalapenos
• 1 large white or yellow onion, chopped
• 1 teaspoon cumin
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon sugar
• ¼ teaspoon pepper
• 1 Tablespoon lime juice  (I used lemon juice but it was still good.  Don't forget the lime, though. )
•  
• Put all the ingredients in a food processor and pulse until you like the consistency.  I did it in a blender and had a more mushy consistency than I like but it still tasted very good.

This salsa is more of a mush.  Next time I will use the food processor instead of the blender. If you like chunky, this was a failure....
