Resturant Style Salsa


What you need,

1-28oz can of whole tomatoes, drained
2-10oz cans Rotel diced tomatoes with green chillies
Now up here in Canada I can’t get Rotel, so I just used a large can of diced tomatoes and 1 small can of diced green chilies, it worked just fine.
¼ cup chopped onion
1 jalapeno pepper, roughly chopped, remove the seeds if you want a milder salsa
1 clove garlic, minced
¼ tsp. sugar
¼ tsp. salt
¼ tsp. ground cumin
Juice of half a lime
½ cup chopped fresh parsley or cilantro if you don’t hate it like I do.

In a food processor add in the whole tomatoes, the chopped tomatoes and green chilies (or Rotel if you have it), the onion, jalapeno, garlic. Next add in the sugar, salt and cumin and lime juice. Toss in the parsley or cilantro.
Pulse several times until you get the consistency you want.  Add in more salt or sugar to your taste if needed.

Serve with chips, and a little sour cream never hurt anyone!

You can keep the left overs in an airtight container for up to a week.
