Best Homemade Salsa Ever

This homemade salsa is the freshest and most flavorful you’ll ever make, with just the right balance of zest and heat. It’s perfect for dipping with tortilla chips, drizzling over nachos, or adding a kick to your favorite Mexican dishes.

Made with whole tomatoes, Rotel, jalapeños, and cilantro, this vibrant salsa bursts with bold flavors. Fresh lime juice ties everything together, adding a tangy brightness.

Quick and easy to prepare, this salsa can be customized to your liking—whether you want it mild or fiery. The best part? It gets even better after chilling, letting the flavors meld beautifully.

Ingredients:

  • 1 can (28 oz) whole tomatoes with juice
  • 2 cans (10 oz each) Rotel (diced tomatoes with green chilies)
  • 1/4 cup chopped onion
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 whole jalapeño, quartered and sliced
  • 1/4 tsp sugar
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp ground cumin
  • 1/2 cup cilantro (or more, to taste)
  • Juice of 1/2 lime

Directions:

  1. Blend Ingredients: In a blender or food processor, combine the whole tomatoes (with juice), Rotel, onion, garlic, jalapeño, sugar, salt, cumin, lime juice, and cilantro.
  2. Pulse to Desired Consistency: For a chunkier salsa, pulse about 10-15 times. For a smoother texture, pulse more.
  3. Taste and Adjust: Adjust salt, lime juice, or seasonings to your preference.
  4. Chill: Refrigerate for at least an hour to let the flavors fully develop.
  5. Serve: Enjoy with tortilla chips, on nachos, or as a topping for any dish.
