Ingredients

  • 1 (14.5-ounce) can tomatoes and green chilies
  • 1 (14.5-ounce) can whole tomatoes, plus the juice
  • 4 teaspoons jalapenos, canned, diced, not pickled
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder
  • ½ teaspoon garlic salt (with parsley flakes)
  • ½ teaspoon minced garlic
  • ½ teaspoon cumin
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 2 whole roma tomatoes

Instructions

  • Pour the can of tomatoes and green chilies, a can of whole tomatoes (with the juice), the canned jalapenos, onion powder, garlic salt, minced garlic, cumin, sugar, and chopped Roma tomatoes in a blender or food processor and blend until all combined.

Notes

Recipe Tips.
  • Do not run the blender on high for too long; overblending can make it foamy.
  • You can serve right away, but chilling for 30 minutes lets the flavors meld.
  • Serve with Homemade Tortilla Chips for that restaurant feel.
  • We like ROTEL brand tomatoes with green chilies in mild, but you can choose "original" for a hotter salsa. You can also add extra jalapenos to increase the heat.
Store in the refrigerator for 5-7 days in an airtight container or mason jar.
