- 1 can of Rotel (the Mexican Festival tastes best, but use the extra hot for a spicy salsa)
- 1 12oz. can of diced peeled tomatoes (fresh tomatoes may be used, but be sure to drain them)
- ½ an onion diced and rinsed (not rinsing will give you a very strong onion taste after it sits a day)
- 1 or 2 jalapenos diced (boil before dicing for a milder salsa, use habenero peppers for spicier)
- 2 to 4 cloves of fresh garlic diced
- Diced fresh cilantro to taste (a tablespoon is a good starting point)
- One or two teaspoons of lime juice (too much will make it bitter, but a little sugar will fix that)
- Salt to taste (if the salsa is a little bland, add more salt it brings out the flavor)
