TEX-MEX SALSA
I created this recipe to taste like my favorite Mexican restaurant that I went to when I was a child - Casa Hernandez. Jalapeno, cilantro, onion, salt, and garlic can be adjusted to taste. Chili powder may give this a nice touch, also. It just depends on your taste. This is a no-cook recipe. I am unsure of the amount of servings this makes.

Steps:
- 1. Put all ingredients in a food processor or blender (reserve 1/2 can of (6 oz) the tomato juice). Blend well for about 10 to 20 seconds on high. Do not puree. Pour into bowl and add remaining tomato juice. Stir well. Serve with tortilla chips
- 2. For a milder salsa, remove the seeds from the jalapeno before blending.
- 3. I always double this recipe and make one salsa mild and the other much spicier. *** Please use whole tomatoes and not diced as it will effect the thickness of the salsa.
Tips:
- Use fresh, ripe tomatoes: This will give your salsa the best flavor.
- Roast your tomatoes: Roasting the tomatoes will intensify their flavor and make them sweeter.
- Use a variety of peppers: This will give your salsa a more complex flavor. Use a combination of mild, medium, and hot peppers, depending on your desired heat level.
- Don't over-process your salsa: You want your salsa to have some texture. If you over-process it, it will become too smooth and lose its flavor.
- Add fresh herbs and spices: This will brighten up the flavor of your salsa. Some good options include cilantro, cumin, and oregano.
- Let your salsa rest before serving: This will allow the flavors to meld together.
Conclusion:
Now you have everything you need to make delicious Tex-Mex salsa at home. Remember to use fresh ingredients, roast your tomatoes, and don't over-process your salsa. With a little practice, you'll be able to make salsa that will impress your friends and family.
