Ingredients

The following ingredients have 16 Servings
  • 2 (14.5-ounce) cans diced fire-roasted tomatoes (one can drained & one can with juices)
  • 1/4 small onion
  • 3 large cloves garlic
  • 2 jalapeños (with or without seeds & membranes (which add heat))
  • 1 bunch fresh cilantro
  • Juice from half of a lime
  • Small squeeze of honey
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • Freshly ground black pepper (to taste)
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/4 teaspoon chipotle chile pepper powder (optional)

Instruction

  • Add the diced tomatoes, onion, garlic cloves, jalapeños, cilantro, lime juice, honey, salt, pepper, cumin, and chipotle chile pepper powder (if using) to the jar of a blender or bowl of a large food processor. Blend or process until the ingredients are broken down and pureed to your desired smoothness and consistency. Adjust seasonings to taste, adding more salt and pepper, if necessary.
  • Transfer to a tightly sealed container and chill in the refrigerator for at least one hour before serving, to allow the flavors to blend. Or, if you can't wait, serve immediately!
