Running out of salsa is never a good thing in my opinion. I never know when I will be craving some for my eggs, or deciding I want tacos for dinner. So what is a girl to do if she is in a pinch and needs salsa NOW? Remember that she has a can of whole tomatoes and an awesome food processor and get to work.
This salsa was literally made in 3 minutes time. It's going to take longer to type this recipe then to actually make it. Yeah, that quick. And it tastes pretty darn good, if I do say so myself.
Homemade Salsa (Using Canned Tomatoes)
Makes about 2 cups
Ingredients:
1 14 oz can of whole, no salt added tomatoes
1/2 onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, chopped
Handful of cilantro, chopped
Salt & pepper to taste
Directions:
In the bowl of a food processor layer tomatoes (with juices), onion, garlic, cilantro, salt & pepper, in that order.
Pulse to desired consistency.
Dip in tortilla chips to "taste test".
Store rest in refrigerator in an air tight container.
Notes:
*Add 1/2 chopped jalapeno pepper to add some spice
*Dried cilantro works just fine
