Servings: 12 -15
Ingredients
- 1 28oz can Whole Peeled Tomatoes
- 3 15oz can Diced Tomatoes your taste preference (RO*TEL®, fire roasted, with jalapeño, with garlic, etc)
- 1 8oz can tomato sauce
- 2 4oz cans green chiles (optional: add 1 or more can diced jalapeños for extra spice)
- 1/2 C fresh cilantro leaves chopped (approximately 1/2 - 1 bunch)
- 1 bunch green onions sliced
- juice from 1 large lime approx 2 TBSP
- 1 tsp hot sauce start with 1 tsp of your choice of hot sauce, add more to desired level of heat
- 1 tsp garlic minced or powdered (add more to taste)
- 1 TBSP red wine vinegar
- 1 TBSP olive oil
Instructions
- Start by dumping the can of whole peeled tomatoes into a large mixing bowl (don’t drain anything!). Break the tomatoes by hand or cut. Continue with all canned ingredients.
- Wash and chop entire batch of green onions. Add to bowl.
- Wash and remove leaves from cilantro (no stems). Chop cilantro leaves and add to bowl.
- Serve with tortilla chips and enjoy!
- Add juice from one lime, garlic, and hot sauce. I recommend starting with a smaller amount of these ingredients (especially the hot sauce) mixing well, and tasting. A little hot sauce can go a long way! Adjust to your desired flavor and spice levels
- Stir in vinegar and oil. You can add a dash of salt & pepper if desired as well.
- Stir well to combine. Refrigerate. For the best flavor, allow the salsa to sit in the refrigerator for at least an hour before serving. Better yet, make it the night before as the flavors meld and get better over time!
