Directions:
Add the onion, garlic, and jalapeno to the bowl of a food processor. Pulse a few times to chop until the onion pieces are about 1/4" size.

Drain off the liquid from the can of diced tomatoes with green chiles and discard the liquid. Add tomatoes and chiles from the can to the food processor.

Add fire roasted diced tomatoes with their juices from can to the food processor, with remaining salsa ingredients.

Pulse until the salsa reaches your desired consistency.


Taste salsa on a chip and adjust the lime juice, salt, or sugar as needed.

Serves 12. Takes 10 minutes.

Personal Notes:
Personal Notes:
This salsa recipe makes medium-spicy salsa. For mild salsa, substitute a can of regular diced tomatoes in place of the diced tomatoes with green chiles.

For spicier salsa, use a whole jalapeņo pepper or add in some of the ribs and seeds from the jalapeņo.

Be careful not to go overboard with the ribs and seeds, as that is where most of the spice is.
























There is something wonderfully bold and liberating about saying saying yes to our entire and imperfect life.
