The ease of preparation and the versatility of this sauce make this a dependable go-to ingredient as well as a nice table salsa.. It also freezes well, so make extra. If you do any canning, it also holds well in the pantry. Makes a wonderful cooking or baking sauce for enchiladas, Mexican lasagna, eggs or meatloaf. This recipe was recently selected as a prize-winner in a national contest for tomato products (honorable mention, but still...whoo-hoo!).

This salsa is amazing! It's got just the right amount of heat and smokiness, and the garlic and cilantro give it a really fresh flavor. I served it with tortilla chips and grilled chicken, and it was a huge hit.
