Fresh Salsa

I'm not a big fan of canned salsa from the grocery store. I love the salsa from restaurants. I found this recipe, which is supposed to taste just like the salsa from Chili's. Now I don't know how similar it is to Chili's salsa since I haven't eaten there in a year, but it definitely is restaurant quality. Not to mention easy! And it has a spicy level of medium. If you prefer less spicy, add only half the jalapenos.

Ingredients
  • 1 (14 1/2 oz) can tomatoes and green chilis (like the Ro-Tel brand)
  • 1 (14 1/2 oz) can whole tomatoes plus the juice (Now I had trouble finding a 14 1/2 oz can so I used 1 1/2 (10 oz) cans)
  • 4 tsp canned diced jalapenos
  • 1/4 cup diced yellow onion
  • 3/4 tsp garlic salt or 1 clove garlic
  • 1/2 tsp cumin
  • 1/4 tsp sugar

Directions

1. Add all ingredients to a blender or food processor. Blend for just a few seconds. You do NOT want to puree.

2. Place in a covered container in the fridge for a few hours before serving to allow the flavors to blend.

  1. This is a different recipe than the salsa you made for us a few months ago, right? That one was delicious.

    Also, if you're taking requests, do you have a good meatloaf recipe?
