Anna's Poor Man's Salsa

Anna’s Poor Man's Salsa

Craving salsa from your favorite mexican restaurant? Don’t want to leave the house? Can’t find fresh tomatoes, but already have a can of tomatoes? This is your salsa! 

Ingredients:

1 (28 oz) can of Diced Tomatoes

1 teaspoon minced garlic or two cloves of garlic

1 ½ cup of diced red onion

4 fresh jalapenos or 1-1 ½  cup pickled jalapenos

A small handful of cilantro leaves

Your favorite hot sauce 

Directions:

Using a food processor, add in your pre-prepped ingredients in batches. Add a cup to half a cup to the food processor at a time depending on the size of the food processor. Add portions of the jalapenos, onions and garlic so it mixes well. Add hot sauce to taste and finish by mixing in the cilantro. If the salsa is too sweet add a dash of lemon or lime juice and if it’s too acidic add a pinch of sugar.
