Categories condiment

Time 1h15m

Yield 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

Ingredients

Two 10-ounce cans diced tomatoes and green chiles, such as Rotel
One 28-ounce can whole tomatoes with juice
1/2 cup fresh cilantro leaves (or more to taste!)
1/4 cup chopped onion
1 clove garlic, minced
1 whole jalapeno, quartered and sliced thin, with seeds and membrane
1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon sugar
1/2 whole lime, juiced

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.

EASY CILANTRO LIME ROTEL SALSA

Easy Cilantro Lime Rotel Salsa image

This salsa recipe is a my own variation of the salsa that my mother-in-law makes. I really hate store-bought salsa, so I was excited to find that she knew how to make a really easy, tasty salsa. Even though the ingredients are canned, it tastes incredibly fresh (thanks to the cilantro and lime juice.) My variation is different from my MIL's in that I added cilantro, garlic, and lime juice. Hers was still very delicious without it!

Time 5m

Yield 3 cups, 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

Ingredients

1 (10 ounce) can rotel
1 (14 1/2 ounce) can petite diced tomatoes
1/3 bunch cilantro
1 small onion
1 teaspoon minced garlic
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 tablespoon lime juice
salt
pepper

Steps:

Dice/chop the onion based on your preferences. I prefer to chop mine in a food processor.
Remove cilantro leaves from stems. Discard stems, and chop cilantro leaves or run through food processor slightly.
If you prefer really chunky salsa, then simply mix all ingredients together.
I prefer a more blended salsa, so I use a food processor to make my Rotel and petite diced tomatoes a bit smaller.
I never measure the minced garlic, cumin, lime juice, salt, or pepper, so the amounts are all estimates. You can adjust to your own personal tastes.
Enjoy! I've been known to just eat it straight from the bowl. :-).

Tips:

Use fresh ingredients: Fresh tomatoes, onions, and cilantro will give your salsa the best flavor. If you can't find fresh tomatoes, you can use canned tomatoes, but be sure to drain them well before using.
Roast your tomatoes: Roasting tomatoes intensifies their flavor and makes them sweeter. To roast tomatoes, simply toss them with olive oil and salt and pepper, then roast them in a preheated oven at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 30 minutes, or until they are softened and caramelized.
Use a variety of peppers: Different types of peppers will give your salsa different flavors. For a mild salsa, use green bell peppers. For a medium salsa, use poblano peppers. For a hot salsa, use serrano or habanero peppers. You can also use a combination of different types of peppers to create your own unique flavor profile.
Add other ingredients to taste: In addition to tomatoes, peppers, and onions, you can add other ingredients to your salsa to taste. Some popular additions include cilantro, lime juice, garlic, cumin, and chili powder. Feel free to experiment with different ingredients to find the combination that you like best.
Let your salsa rest before serving: After you make your salsa, let it rest for at least 30 minutes before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld together and develop.

Conclusion:

Ro-Tel salsa is a delicious and versatile condiment that can be used in a variety of dishes. It is easy to make and can be customized to your own taste preferences. Whether you like your salsa mild, medium, or hot, you are sure to find a recipe that you will enjoy.
