Ingredients

  • 1 28 oz. can whole tomatoes, with juice San Marzano are best
  • 2 cans Ro-tel (tomatoes with peppers) we use 1 can mild, 1 can original
  • ¼ cup onion chopped
  • 1 clove garlic minced
  • 1 fresh jalapeño seeded and chopped
  • ½ tsp sugar
  • 1 tsp Kosher salt
  • ½ tsp ground cumin
  • ¼ cup cilantro chopped (use more, if desired)
  • 1 lime juiced, about 1 tbsp

Instructions

  • Place all ingredients in a large food processor (or blender).  This can also be done in batches if using a smaller processor.
  • Pulse to get desired consistency.  We like ours still with some tomato chunks left. This usually takes about 10 pulses. 
  • Taste with a tortilla chip and adjust seasoning, to taste. 
  • Store in an air-tight container in the fridge, preferably for at least 1 hour, or longer. 
  • Serve with warm tortilla chips!
