Mexican Restaurant Style Salsa-Super Easy and Quick

beth's Note:

This is a recipe that I got off a food blog and tweaked to my liking. My ten year old daughter, Caroline, has eaten three batches in four days! It is so simple to make. I like it better after it has sat awhile in the fridge for the flavors to meld.

• Total Time: 15 mins
• Prep Time: 10 mins
• Cook Time: 5 mins

Ingredients:

Serves: 8-10

Yield: 1.0 batch

• 1 garlic clove
• ½ small onion
• 1 (14 ½ ounce) can diced tomatoes with jalapenos (Del Monte is the brand I use)
• juice of one lime
• cilantro
• salt
• sugar

Directions:

1. In a food processor or blender, throw in garlic and onion, pulse a few times to mince.
2. Add tomatoes, juice of lime, cilantro(I buy a bunch and use about a 1/3), salt(1/2 tsp to start) and sugar(a good pinch to start).
3. Pulse to the consistency you like. I prefer smooth.Keep tasting to adjust salt and sugar.
4. Place in container and allow the flavors to meld for a little while. I like it both cold and room temperature.
5. Break out the chips and enjoy!
