Easy Breezy Homemade Salsa

So my favorite thing in the world is a good salsa and some tortilla chips.  It's hard to give that up after you start trying to eat healthy and make better choices. So I went looking for a way to have this without throwing myself off track.  This is not the best time of year for fresh salsa, so here is an easy way to have your salsa without fresh tomatoes. I eat my salsa with the whole wheat tortilla chips that I posted here.  It's a great snack for someone who has a soft spot for salty chips and yummy salsa.

Ingredients:

  • 14 oz. can of diced tomatoes with juice
  • 10 oz. can of rotel with juice
  • the juice of 1 lime
  • half of a medium white or yellow onion 
  • 1 jalapeno seeded and chopped
  • a handful of cilantro
  • 1 tsp of salt (season to taste, but this is about what I use)
  • 2 tsp tequila lime flavored Mrs. Dash
  • *Some people add ground cumin to their salsa instead of the Mrs. Dash, I don't.  I don't care for the taste of cumin. But if you would like to add it, you will need about a half teaspoon in place of Mrs. Dash.


Add all ingredients to you blender or food processor and pulse until all ingredients are combined and at desired consistency.  It's very good.
