cooking spray
5 large Roma tomatoes, halved lengthwise
¼ large white onion
1 jalapeno pepper, stem removed
⅓ cup chopped fresh cilantro
1 lime, juiced
1 ½ teaspoons garlic salt, or to taste

Steps:

Set an oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler to high.
Spray a 9x13-inch glass casserole dish with cooking spray. Arrange tomatoes in the prepared dish with cut sides down. Add onion and jalapeno.
Broil until tomato skins are blackened and blistered, 10 to 15 minutes. Remove onion and jalapeno halfway through cooking time, once skins are slightly softened.
Combine broiled vegetables in a blender; add cilantro, lime juice, and 1 teaspoon garlic salt. Pulse until smooth. Taste and season with remaining garlic salt as desired.

Time 15m

Number Of Ingredients 8

15 oz canned whole tomatoes
2 tsp minced garlic or 1 large clove of garlic chopped
1/2 tsp salt
1 jalapeno, chopped (or more to taste)
12 oz can of campbell's tomato juice
2 green onions, chopped
1/2 c fresh cilantro, lightly chopped
2 tsp lime juice

Steps:

1. Put all ingredients in a food processor or blender (reserve 1/2 can of (6 oz) the tomato juice). Blend well for about 10 to 20 seconds on high. Do not puree. Pour into bowl and add remaining tomato juice. Stir well. Serve with tortilla chips
2. For a milder salsa, remove the seeds from the jalapeno before blending.
3. I always double this recipe and make one salsa mild and the other much spicier. *** Please use whole tomatoes and not diced as it will effect the thickness of the salsa.
