people just like to say salsa, restaraunt style salsa

It's not the #1 condiment in America for no reason! Continuing with this weeks Mexican theme, I may have just discovered something that is going to change my life forever... a salsa recipe that actually tastes like it does in a restaraunt. It just took about 5 minutes in the food processor and is seriously amazing.

I don't have a whole lot else to say, other than it is the perfect mix of ingredients and you can blend it as chunky or smooth as you wish. I pulsed mine about 10 times in the processor since I prefer it on the smoother side. You can use your blender if you don't have one and it would still work just fine. Who knew a salsa based from a simple can of whole tomatoes could be so good. Thank you Ree Drummond!

Ingredients

• 1 can (28 Ounce) Whole Tomatoes With Juice
• 2 cans (10 Ounce) Rotel (diced Tomatoes And Green Chilies)
• ¼ cups Chopped Onion
• 1 clove Garlic, Minced
• 1 whole Jalapeno, Quartered And Sliced Thin (I left out the seeds and membrane and it was plenty hot!)
• ¼ teaspoons Sugar
• ¼ teaspoons Salt
• ¼ teaspoons Ground Cumin
• ½ cups Cilantro (more To Taste!)
• ½ whole Lime Juice

Preparation Instructions

Combine whole tomatoes, Rotel, onion, jalapeno, garlic, sugar, salt, cumin, lime juice, and cilantro in a blender or food processor. Pulse until you get the salsa to the consistency you’d like—I do about 10 to 15 pulses. Test seasonings with a tortilla chip and adjust as needed.
Refrigerate salsa for at least an hour. Serve with tortilla chips or cheese nachos.
