The Best Salsa Ever

Not only is this the best salsa ever (in my opinion) but it's ridiculously easy and quick to make. In less than 10 minutes you can be scooping toasted tortilla chips into this smokey, slightly spicy salsa.

Ingredients
  

  • 2 14.5 ounce cans fire roasted tomatoes, drained and juice discarded substitute 4 cups fresh Roma tomatoes, seeds removed and roughly chopped
  • 1/2 red onion, quartered or 1 small red onion
  • 2 garlic cloves, peeled
  • 1 jalepeno, seeded and roughly chopped leave seeds in if you want it spicier
  • 1 small bunch of cilantro, about 2 cups
  • 1 lime
  • 1/4 tsp cumin
  • 1/2 tsp chili powder
  • 1/4 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1/4 tsp oregano
  • 1 tsp salt or to taste
  • 1/2 tsp ground black pepper

Instructions
 

  • In a food processor add onion, garlic and jalapeno. Pulse a few times just breaking up the veggies into smaller pieces.
  • Scrape the sides of the processor and add the drained tomatoes, cilantro, and seasonings. Pulse until desired consistency. I like mine on the finer side.
  • Squeeze in the juice of 1 lime. Stir to combine and check to see if you need more salt.
  • Serve with tortilla chips and enjoy!

Notes

Store salsa in airtight container for up to 7 days in refrigerator.
