EQUIPMENT

Ingredients
  

  • 2 (14.5oz) cans of fire roasted tomatoes
  • 1 (4oz) can of diced green chilies
  • 1/2 cup diced onion
  • 2 jalapenos seeded and cut in to chunks
  • 1 Tbsp minced garlic
  • 1 large lime juiced and zested
  • 2 tsp sugar
  • 1-1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp cumin
  • 1/2 tsp chipotle powder
  • 1/2 cup cilantro roughly chopped

Instructions
 

  • Add the tomatoes, green chilies, diced onion, jalapenos, minced garlic, lime zest and juice, sugar, salt, black pepper, cumin, chipotle powder and cilantro in to the blender and pulse until desired consistency.
  • Taste and add additional salt and pepper for your preferred taste.
  • Refrigerate the salsa for at least two hours before serving to allow all the flavors to meld.

Notes

Here are a couple of tips for this recipe:
  • I LOVE to use the fire roasted canned tomatoes.  They add an additional layer of flavor!  However, if you just have plain canned, they will definitely work in a pinch.
  • Not a fan of heat?  Reduce the jalapenos and chipotle powder.
  • Want more heat?  Add more chipotle powder, or don't take all the seeds out of the jalapenos.
  • You can use a white, yellow or red onion.
  • Don't like cilantro?  Switch it out for parsley!  Yes, it will taste different, but if you don't like cilantro it's a great substitute.
