Number Of Ingredients 10

1 can (28 ounce) whole tomatoes with juice
2 cans (10 ounce) Rotel (diced tomatoes and green chilies)
1/4 c. chopped onion
1 clove garlic, minced
1 whole jalapeƱo, quartered and sliced thin

1/4 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. ground cumin

Steps:

  • Combine whole tomatoes, Rotel, onion, jalapeno, garlic, sugar, salt, cumin, lime juice, and cilantro in a blender or food processor. Pulse until you get the salsa to the consistency you'd like-I do about 10 to 15 pulses. Test seasonings with a tortilla chip and adjust as needed.

Time 1h15m

Yield 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

Two 10-ounce cans diced tomatoes and green chiles, such as Rotel
One 28-ounce can whole tomatoes with juice
1/2 cup fresh cilantro leaves (or more to taste!)
1/4 cup chopped onion
1 clove garlic, minced
1 whole jalapeno, quartered and sliced thin, with seeds and membrane
1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon sugar
1/2 whole lime, juiced

Steps:

  • Combine the diced tomatoes, whole tomatoes, cilantro, onions, garlic, jalapeno, cumin, salt, sugar and lime juice in a blender or food processor. (This is a very large batch. I recommend using a 12-cup food processor, or you can process the ingredients in batches and then mix everything together in a large mixing bowl.)
  • Pulse until you get the salsa to the consistency you'd like. I do about 10 to 15 pulses. Test seasonings with a tortilla chip and adjust as needed.
  • Refrigerate the salsa for at least an hour before serving.

EASY CILANTRO LIME ROTEL SALSA



Easy Cilantro Lime Rotel Salsa image

This salsa recipe is a my own variation of the salsa that my mother-in-law makes. I really hate store-bought salsa, so I was excited to find that she knew how to make a really easy, tasty salsa. Even though the ingredients are canned, it tastes incredibly fresh (thanks to the cilantro and lime juice.) My variation is different from my MIL's in that I added cilantro, garlic, and lime juice. Hers was still very delicious without it!

Time 5m

Yield 3 cups, 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 (10 ounce) can rotel
1 (14 1/2 ounce) can petite diced tomatoes
1/3 bunch cilantro
1 small onion
1 teaspoon minced garlic
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 tablespoon lime juice
salt
pepper

Steps:

  • Dice/chop the onion based on your preferences. I prefer to chop mine in a food processor.
  • Remove cilantro leaves from stems. Discard stems, and chop cilantro leaves or run through food processor slightly.
  • If you prefer really chunky salsa, then simply mix all ingredients together.
  • I prefer a more blended salsa, so I use a food processor to make my Rotel and petite diced tomatoes a bit smaller.
  • I never measure the minced garlic, cumin, lime juice, salt, or pepper, so the amounts are all estimates. You can adjust to your own personal tastes.
  • Enjoy! I've been known to just eat it straight from the bowl. :-).
