Hello!
For those who don’t know, I used to live in Texas, so I take salsa and all chip-dipping foods very seriously. In my pursuit to get in the kitchen more, I decided to try my hand at making my own. Who knew it was so easy?! Here is the quick 10-minute Texas salsa recipe, originally from this article but altered to my own taste.
Easy Texas Salsa Recipe

Ingredients:
- 28oz can of whole tomatoes
- 1 small white onion-chopped
- 2 jalepeno peppers-chopped
- 3 cloves garlic-chopped
- 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1-2 handfulls of cilantro (who knows what a handfull is, I used 10-12 little stalk things)
- 3 tablespoons of lime juice



Directions:
- Chop onion, jalepenos, garlic, and cilantro
- Pour can of tomatoes in food processor
- Add chopped ingredients
- Add cumin, salt, and lime juice
- Taste and add more of the ingredients depending on your liking



Ultimately I REALLY like how this first batched turned out. My family liked it, the boy liked it, so I was feeling pretty good about it. Next time, I will add 1 extra jalepeno because I like things hotttttt and the 2 jalepenos the recipe called for didn’t do it for me. If you don’t want it very hot at all, I advise that you remove the seeds of the jalepeno, then chop it before adding it to the food processor.
Tell me, are you a mild, medium, or hot kinda salsa eater??



This sounds amazing and is totally bookmarked for me to try out tomorrow!
This looks so easy! Quick question – I froze some cilantro and olive oil in ice cube trays because I don’t use it quick enough. I know it would add some oil, but do you think I could thaw them and use in place of fresh in a pinch?
Yeah! It will definitely have the additional oil flavor to it, but I think the cilantro taste will still come through just fine!
This looks so good! I’m going to a BBQ on Friday and I think this would be the perfect dish to take with me. Thanks for sharing!
I need to try this, looks so easy and delicious! Thank you for sharing.

Very nice. The canned tomatoes are very handy. I like things hot………but not too hot !!
