4 servings
Servings4
1 small yellow onion, roughly chopped
3 pickled jalapeño peppers
1/2 cup of the canned jalapeño pepper liquid
3 (28 oz) canned whole tomatoes, drained
1 bunch of cilantro leaves, roughly chopped
Juice from 1 lime
1/4 teaspoon granulated garlic
1/2 teaspoon Kosher salt, adjust to taste
1 teaspoon red pepper flakes to taste (optional)

jalapeño

🥗Healthier: serrano pepper

💰Cheaper: bell pepper

Serrano adds heat while bell pepper offers sweetness.

cilantro

🥗Healthier: parsley

💰Cheaper: spinach

Parsley provides a fresh flavor, while spinach adds a mild taste.

lime juice

🥗Healthier: lemon juice

💰Cheaper: vinegar

Lemon juice offers a similar acidity, while vinegar is cost-effective.

tomatoes

🥗Healthier: heirloom tomatoes

💰Cheaper: canned tomatoes

Heirloom tomatoes enhance flavor, while canned are budget-friendly.

1

Place all the ingredients in a food processor or high-speed blender, except 2 canned tomatoes, and blitz to desired consistency - we like ours pretty chunky.

2

Transfer to a big bowl and set aside. Now go ahead and blitz the remaining canned tomatoes.

3

Once finished, pour into the big bowl and stir to combine thoroughly. Taste and adjust salt and lime juice, if necessary.

4

Refrigerate 1 hour before serving or enjoy right away with corn chips or other dippers.
