Authentic Restaurant Style Salsa Recipe

Chips and Salsa

Mmmm. Salsa. I love salsa! My mom always has a batch of salsa ready for dinner, and I recently got around to asking for her recipe! I made a few changes, of course. My mom roasts her own chili's and tomatoes which just seems like too much work for me. You can whip up this delicious salsa in less than five minutes!

Restaurant Style Salsa

1 can of roasted, diced tomatoes

1/2 white onion
1 fresh jalapeno pepper
1/2 cup chopped cilantro
1 teaspoon salt

Place all ingredients in a food processor and process until a smooth salsa emerges.

Salsa Tips!

-Add more or less of each ingredient to change the entire profile of the salsa!

-Wrap the jalapeno and tomato in aluminum foil and place directly on the stove top. Roast for 5-7 minutes. Wait until cool, and peel both the tomato and the jalapeno and add to the food processor. Roasting these ingredients adds an incredible smoky flavor!
