Easy Restaurant Style Salsa

Category: Salsa/ Gucamole

2 (14.5oz) cans diced tomatoes
1 Large jalapeno
2 Cloves garlic, minced
1 Onion
Juice of 1 lime
1 1/2 Tbsp vinegar
1/2 Cup cilantro
Salt and pepper, to taste
Pinch of sugar

Remove stem and most seeds* from jalapeno, cut in half and set aside. Cut onion in quarters. Roughly chop cilantro.

Place tomatoes, jalapeno, onion, garlic, vinegar and cilantro in a food processor and pulse several times until desired consistency is achieved. Season with salt, pepper and lime juice and pulse a few more times to incorporate. Taste, adjust seasonings if needed and refrigerate until ready to serve.

*I left some seeds in for additional heat. However, if you are sensitive to heat then remove all of the seeds. Additionally, if you just want the flavor of the jalapeno and none of the spice, cut the jalapeno in half and remove seeds and soak in ice water for about 15-20 minutes before using.
