When it comes to salsa, my husband is pretty picky. We have yet to find a store-bought salsa that has met his standards. By that I mean, a salsa that has good flavor and isn't chunky. He doesn't like chunks of tomatoes, peppers, or onions in his salsa which makes this easy homemade restaurant-style salsa perfect! I love how quick and easy it is to make and the fact that you have control over how thick and how spicy you want it. Once you make this salsa, your days of buying salsa in the grocery stores will be over!
It is da bomb!
To make this salsa you will need a blender or food processor. I use my Ninja and it works great.

| Jalapeno seeds adds heat to your salsa! More seeds= hotter salsa! |
In your blender/food processor add the following ingredients:
1- 14 oz. can of diced tomatoes
1 10 oz. can of original Rotel
1/2 of a small onion, roughly chopped
1 clove garlic, peeled & smashed
1/2- 1 jalapeno, seeded or not (Seeds will make your salsa hot! More seeds= more heat!)
1 tsp. honey
1/2 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. ground cumin
Small-medium handful cilantro (I add a large handful of cilantro because I LOVE it!)
Juice of 1 lime (or use 1- 1 1/2 tsp. bottled lime juice)
Put all the ingredients in the blender and pulse for 30 seconds. Blend until it's to your desired consistency. Taste and adjust taste if needed by adding more of a particular ingredient. Serve with chips, tacos, burritos and more! Enjoy!!
**This salsa is delicious served right after making! It will make enough to fill two jars. I usually make a double batch and stick the extra in the freezer! Salsa will freeze perfectly fine, but be aware that upon thawing, the salsa will have a thinner consistency. Taste remains the same and just as delicious, just thinner due to the freezing/thawing process.

I hope you enjoy this salsa as much as we do!
