Calories: 4kcal
- 1 28 ounce (793g) can can whole peeled tomatoes
- 3 cloves garlic peeled
- ½ white or yellow onion about 1 cup or 128g
- 1 large jalapeños or 2 medium, see note
- ½ teaspoon ground cumin
- ¼ teaspoon chipotle chili powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 handful cilantro about 12g
Place tomatoes, garlic, onion, and jalapeno in blender jar. Pulse until roughly chopped.
Add the spices and cilantro and blend (pulsing) until you reach your desired consistency.
Store in refrigerator for up to 1 week.
Note on jalapeño: this creates how spicy it is. If you like mild salsa, be sure to clean out the ribs and seeds and discard them. If you're unsure how much jalapeño (or the seeds) to use, start with a smaller amount then taste the finished product and add more as desired. Want it spicy? Add more!
Want a chunky salsa? Use a food processor and chop each ingredient separately. Pulse it slowly each time so you don't over chop it - then mix in a bowl.
