Homemade Salsa

We eat a lot of Mexican food in my house.  If possible, Patrick would have chips and salsa with every meal.  Over the last year or so, he has perfected his homemade salsa recipe.  I love that it’s so flavorful, without setting your mouth on fire.  I’m a wimp, so he always sets aside a portion for me, then adds extra jalapeno to his.

Here’s what you’ll need:
1 can Rotel
1 large can diced tomatoes
1 large jalapeno (diced)
1 tsp minced garlic
1/2 white onion, finely chopped
1 Tbsp salt
2 Tbsp vinegar
1.5 Tbsp black pepper
Juice from 3 limes
Fresh cilantro to taste

Dump all of the ingredients into a blender.  Blend until the tomatoes are pureed.  I like a pretty smooth consistency, but you can blend less if you’d like a thicker salsa.
