Equipment

  • Blender

Ingredients

  • 28 oz peeled tomatoes with their juice
  • 1/2 cup roughly chopped cilantro packed
  • 1 small sweet onion roughly chopped
  • 1 small jalapeño seeds removed
  • 1 clove garlic
  • 1 chipotle chile in adobo sauce optional
  • 1 tbsp lime juice freshly squeezed
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • 1/2 tsp granulated sugar
  • 1/2 tsp kosher salt

Instructions

  • Place the tomatoes, cilantro, onion, jalapeño, garlic, chipotle, lime juice, cumin, sugar, and salt into a blender or food processor. Blend until smooth or to your desired chunkiness. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
  • Place into an airtight container and place in the fridge for at least 30 minutes to let the flavors combine.

Notes

  • Spice Level: This salsa has a slight kick but it is not overwhelming. The chipotle adds a lovely smoked flavor to this salsa.
  • For Less Heat: If you want a more mild salsa, leave out the jalapeño, or the chipotle, or both.
  • Storing: Store leftovers in the fridge in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
  • Freezing: Place in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 3 months.
