No-Cook Restaurant Style Salsa Recipe

Here is a recipe that I really like for making restaurant style salsa without having to cook anything at all!

I love chips and salsa. However, I’ve yet to find store bought salsa that is anywhere near as good as that which most Mexican restaurants serve. Well, here is a salsa recipe that I really like for making restaurant style salsa without having to cook anything at all! 

Ingredients:

  • 1 14.5 oz. can whole tomatoes, with juice
  • 1 10 oz. can Rotel diced tomatoes with green chiles 
  • 1 garlic clove, peeled and chopped
  • ¼ cup chopped onion
  • 1 whole serrano pepper, seeds and stem removed, chopped
  • ¼ tsp. salt
  • ¼ tsp. sugar
  • ½ tsp. ground cumin
  • ¼ cup fresh cilantro, chopped
  • ½ whole lime, juiced

Method:

  1. Place all of the ingredients into a blender or food processor. 
  2. Pulse until you get the salsa to the consistency you like. I like my salsa to be a little chunky; not too thin. 
  3. Taste and adjust seasonings, if necessary. 
  4. Serve with tortilla chips.
