Number Of Ingredients 10

6 Roma tomatoes
1/2 medium yellow or sweet onion
1/4 C finely chopped cilantro
2 jalapenos
1/4 C vinegar, (skinny)
2-3 tsp salt

1 tsp minced garlic
1/4 tsp chili powder
1/4-1/2 lime

Steps:

  • Finely dice tomatoes & onion and place in medium glass mixing bowl. Add chopped cilantro.
  • Slice jalapenos in half to remove the seeds and the membrane than that holds them. Finely dice peppers and add to tomatoes and onion. (Note: The membrane is where the heat of the pepper comes from. How much of the membrane you leave in the pepper will determine the heat of your salsa. You may want to wear gloves while you work with the jalapenos. If not, wash hands thoroughly with dish washing liquid afterwards and do not touch face.)
  • Add vinegar, garlic, chili powder and 2 tsp of salt and sugar. Toss well. Taste to determine if another tsp of salt and/or sugar is needed.
  • Squeeze lime over salsa. Toss once more. Cover and refrigerate or serve immediately with tortilla chips or with any Tex Mex dish.

EASY CILANTRO LIME ROTEL SALSA



Easy Cilantro Lime Rotel Salsa image

This salsa recipe is a my own variation of the salsa that my mother-in-law makes. I really hate store-bought salsa, so I was excited to find that she knew how to make a really easy, tasty salsa. Even though the ingredients are canned, it tastes incredibly fresh (thanks to the cilantro and lime juice.) My variation is different from my MIL's in that I added cilantro, garlic, and lime juice. Hers was still very delicious without it!

Categories     Vegetable

Time 5m

Yield 3 cups, 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 (10 ounce) can rotel
1 (14 1/2 ounce) can petite diced tomatoes
1/3 bunch cilantro
1 small onion
1 teaspoon minced garlic
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 tablespoon lime juice
salt
pepper

Steps:

  • Dice/chop the onion based on your preferences. I prefer to chop mine in a food processor.
  • Remove cilantro leaves from stems. Discard stems, and chop cilantro leaves or run through food processor slightly.
  • If you prefer really chunky salsa, then simply mix all ingredients together.
  • I prefer a more blended salsa, so I use a food processor to make my Rotel and petite diced tomatoes a bit smaller.
  • I never measure the minced garlic, cumin, lime juice, salt, or pepper, so the amounts are all estimates. You can adjust to your own personal tastes.
  • Enjoy! I've been known to just eat it straight from the bowl. :-).

Tips:

  • Choose the freshest ingredients: The quality of your salsa will depend on the quality of your ingredients. Use fresh cilantro, onions, and limes for the best flavor.
  • Use a sharp knife: A sharp knife will help you get clean, even cuts on your ingredients. This will make your salsa look and taste better.
  • Don't over chop the ingredients: You want the ingredients in your salsa to be small, but not too small. If you over chop them, they will lose their texture and flavor.
  • Taste the salsa as you make it: Adjust the seasonings to your liking. You may want to add more cilantro, onion, lime juice, or salt. Don't be afraid to experiment until you find the perfect flavor balance.
  • Serve the salsa immediately: Salsa is best when served fresh. If you have to make it ahead of time, store it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Conclusion:

Cilantro onion lime salsa is a refreshing and flavorful condiment that can be used to add a pop of flavor to any dish. It's perfect for tacos, burritos, nachos, enchiladas, and more. It's also a great way to use up leftover cilantro and onions. With just a few simple ingredients, you can make a delicious and healthy salsa that the whole family will enjoy.
