3 Ingredient Mexican Restaurant Salsa Recipes

3 INGREDIENT MEXICAN RESTAURANT SALSA

Steps:

• Squeeze lime juice from line directly into food processor.
• Open Rotel can, and add to food processor.
• Wash and roughly chop peppers (I leave seeds in) and add to food processor.
• Process until mixed together and there are no super large chunks of peppers. You can make this a chunky salsa, or more of a puree if you like it that way.
• Serve with a big bowl of tortilla chips for dipping!

RESTAURANT-STYLE SALSA

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.

3-INGREDIENT GRILLED AND FRESH TOMATO SALSA

Steps:

• Prepare a grill or grill pan for medium-high heat. Slice 2 tomatoes in half and brush each half with oil. Brush onion with oil. Transfer onions and tomatoes halves to hot grill and cook, turning occasionally, until slightly charred and softened, about 10 minutes. Let cool slightly.
• Remove seeds from remaining 2 tomatoes and cut into 1/4" cubes. Transfer to a medium bowl. Add jalapeño and salt and toss to combine. Finely chop cooled onions and tomatoes, then add to raw tomato mixture and toss to combine.
• Do Ahead
• Salsa can be made 1 day ahead. Transfer to an airtight container and chill.
