Equipment

  • Blender or food processor

Ingredients

  • 1 can 28oz. tomatoes
  • 4 cloves garlic
  • 1/4 medium onion, roughly chopped
  • 1/2 tsp Mexican oregano
  • 1 lime, juiced
  • 1/3 cup sliced pickled jalapeños, (reduce or increase for desired hotness)
  • 1/3 cup pickled jalapeños brine
  • 2 Serrano chilies, (reduce or increase for desired hotness)
  • 1/2 tbsp salt
  • cilantro, small handful, including stems

How I Make It

  • Put all ingredients into a blender or food processor and pulse until all ingredients are just combined. Be careful not to over blend (don’t over liquify - incorporating too much air will turn the tomatoes pink!).
  • Taste and adjust for final seasoning of salt and/or lime.
  • For best results, let the salsa chill for at least 30 minutes to allow for the flavors to come together.
