Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 28 ounce can whole tomatoes
  • 1 10 ounce can diced tomatoes with green chilies
  • 2 to 3 cloves garlic chopped
  • 1/4 cup white onion diced
  • 1/4 cup cilantro chopped
  • 1/4 tsp cumin
  • 1 tsp sugar
  • 2 tbsp lime juice
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1 can green chilies optional, for more heat

Method
 

  1. Add all of the ingredients except the salt, pepper and extra green chilies to a food processor or blender.
  2. Puree until smooth.
  3. Taste and season with the salt and pepper, going easy on the salt since chips are salty.
  4. For a spicier salsa, add green chilies a little at a time, tasting as you go.
  5. Chill until ready to serve.

Notes

Keeps in the refrigerator for at least a week.
