Recipe for Easy Anytime Salsa. make this salsa quickly and easily in your food processor with canned tomatoes -- nobody will ever suspect they're not fresh!

Ingredients

  • 1 can, 28 ounces whole tomatoes
  • 1 can, 14.5 ounces, whole tomatoes
  • 1 can, 7 ounces, diced green chiles
  • 1 medium-large onion, about 1 3/4 cups coarsely chopped
  • 1 to 2 fresh jalapeno chiles, stemmed, seeded and chopped, about 1-3 tablespoons chopped
  • 1 small bunch cilantro, stems removed, coarsely chopped, about 3/4 cup chopped
  • salt and pepper to taste

Directions

  1. Place the tomatoes and chiles in a colander, squeeze out as much juice as possible and set aside for at least 15 minutes to drain well. Press out additional moisture before continuing with recipe. Be sure to catch the juice if you plan on making Spanish Style Rice.
  2. Transfer the drained tomatoes and chiles, along with the remaining ingredients to the bowl of a food processor. Pulse about 6 to 10 times – mixture should be well chopped and combined but still have some small chunks for texture. Serve as a dip for tortillas chips.
  3. Variations, Substitutions and Embellishments
  4. Don’t have any fresh jalapenos on hand? Substitute pickled sliced jalapenos, like those typically served on nachos.
  5. A quarter or half of a pureed chipotle chile (or more to taste) will add smoky flavor and additional spicy heat.
  6. Garlic lovers will want to add a clove or two of minced garlic to the mix.
  7. Cooking for kids or wimps? Leave out all the jalapenos and definitely do not add the chipotle.
