My husband can eat salsa by the gallons. I think its his favorite junk food to eat. When we go to Safeway with a very specific grocery list of things we need to buy, I will divide the list in half and start barking out orders before we even get through the front door. I will tell him exactly the items that he is responsible for fetching, remind him not to stray from the list and to meet me at the register in 5 minutes to check out. Inevitably, he will emerge with a goofy grin and a huge bag of chips and jar of salsa in his arms, too. He just can’t resist his salsa!
Restaurant-Style Salsa (copied from Pioneer Woman)
Ingredients
- 1 can (28 Ounce) Whole Tomatoes With Juice
- 2 cans (10 Ounce) Rotel (diced Tomatoes And Green Chilies)
- 1/4 cup Chopped Onion
- 1 clove Garlic, Minced
- 1 whole Jalapeno, Quartered And Sliced Thin
- 1/4 teaspoon Sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon Salt
- 1/4 teaspoon Ground Cumin
- 1/2 cup Cilantro (more To Taste!)
- 1/2 whole Lime Juice
Preparation Instructions
Note: this is a very large batch. 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.
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.
Refrigerate salsa for at least an hour. Serve with tortilla chips or cheese nachos.

This is my favorite salsa recipe! As an added bonus, you can make it all year (no worrying about finding fresh tomatoes). I think this stuff beats any salsa you’d find at the store, plus it doesn’t have that vinegary bite.
This looks great! Thanks so much for sharing!
Love!
haha! i just made a huge batch of this last week for me and ben!
