Salsa - Award Winning image

I had just moved to San Antonio and friends told me to enter my salsa recipe into a contest. I won second place! For San Antonio, I thought that was pretty good. I have made this for years and people always ask for more and for the recipe. Keep it fresh!

Time 15m

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 small white onion
2 small jalapenos, fresh
2 small serrano chiles
3-4 chipotle peppers - dried if possible
1 can(s) tomatoes, canned whole
1 can(s) tomatoes, crushed
1 bunch cilantro, fresh
2 Tbsp lime juice
1 pinch sea salt
1-2 pinch sugar

Steps:

  • 1. Add the following ingredients to a food processor fitted with blade: white onion (peeled and quartered), peppers (removed of seeds),1/2 can of whole tomatoes -- pulse until desired consistency -- I like pretty small pieces
  • 2. Pour contents of food processor into large bowl and combine with crushed tomatoes
  • 3. Back in food processor, add remaining 1/2 can of whole tomatoes and cilantro. Pulse until cilantro is well distributed.
  • 4. Combine tomato/cilantro combination with first tomato/pepper combination. Add can of crushed tomatoes, lime juice, salt, pepper and sugar to taste.
  • 5. Serve or refrigerate for several days as needed.
  • 6. Note: For chipotle peppers, I prefer to the dried kind if possible, but they can be hard to find so it is okay to use the canned ones in sauce.
  • 7. Note: Change the number of peppers per your taste for heat. Removing the seeds helps keep the heat down so handle as you like.
