Steps:
- Combine the diced tomatoes, whole tomatoes, cilantro, onions, garlic, jalapeno, cumin, salt, sugar and lime juice in a blender or food processor. (This is a very large batch. I recommend using a 12-cup food processor, or you can process the ingredients in batches and then mix everything together in a large mixing bowl.)
- Pulse until you get the salsa to the consistency you'd like. I do about 10 to 15 pulses. Test seasonings with a tortilla chip and adjust as needed.
- Refrigerate the salsa for at least an hour before serving.
BLENDED SALSA (TYPICAL RESTAURANT STYLE)
There's just something about the chips and salsa that are put down in front of me when I visit my neighborhood Mexican joint. It's a typical Tex-Mex place. This is the kind of salsa that's simple and can't be replicated by a store bought, jarred version. Fresh tomatoes are NOT the way to go to get the flavor I'm looking for. Don't get me wrong, fresh pico de gallo is just as easy and delicious. Canned tomatoes have the correct flavor and consistency.

Steps:
- Place all of the ingredients in a blender or food processor. Blend on low 10-30 seconds depending on the desired consistency. While it tastes great right away, you get the best flavor if you let it sit for a few hours or overnight.
Tips:
- Use ripe tomatoes: The riper the tomatoes, the sweeter and more flavorful your salsa will be.
- Roast your tomatoes: Roasting tomatoes intensifies their flavor and gives them a slightly smoky taste.
- Use a variety of peppers: Different peppers will give your salsa different levels of heat and flavor. For a mild salsa, use green bell peppers. For a medium salsa, use poblano peppers. For a hot salsa, use serrano or habanero peppers.
- Don't over-blend your salsa: You want your salsa to have some texture, so don't blend it until it's completely smooth. A few small chunks of tomatoes and peppers are okay.
- Season your salsa to taste: Add salt, pepper, and other seasonings to taste until you get the flavor you want.
- Chill your salsa before serving: Chilling your salsa allows the flavors to meld together and makes it more refreshing.
Conclusion:
Blended salsa is a delicious and versatile condiment that can be used in a variety of dishes. It's perfect for tacos, burritos, nachos, and quesadillas.
