Ingredients

  • 1 (28-ounce) can fire-roasted tomatoes, or use 2 (14-ounce) cans (drain out some liquid if you want a thicker salsa)
  • 1/2 small yellow onion, roughly chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 1/2 cup cilantro (mostly leaves, discard thick stems)
  • 1 jalapeño, optional to deseed (I didn’t deseed it, but you can if you want it mild)
  • 2 limes, juiced
  • 1/2 tsp ground cumin
  • 1/2 tsp pure organic cane sugar
  • 3/4-1 tsp sea salt
  • 1/4 tsp ground black pepper

Instructions

  • Add everything into the blender and blend until combined, about 20-30 seconds. You want it smooth with some texture.
  • Taste and adjust seasonings if needed. Enjoy! 
  • Store in an airtight jar in the fridge. It tastes even better if you let it sit in the fridge for a few hours before eating so the flavors can meld together.
