It's just gonna kick up the flavor of this Salsa, and you're gonna love it. We have a 28 ounce can of diced Tomatoes you can use whole Tomatoes if you like It doesn't matter because these are going in the food processor anyway So if that's what you have on hand go ahead and use it If you don't have big cans use two smaller cans those 14 ounce cans are gonna be perfect use just two of them this is one ten ounce can of Tomatoes and green chilies, you know it otherwise known as Rotel. That's the brand name We're going to use about a I've got a jelly jar and a jelly jar is about a cup so a handful it's almost a whole bunch of Cilantro, so you adjust that depending on your personal preference for cilantro. We're also going to use the juice of one lime I have three cloves of fresh garlic in here and one whole Jalapeno pepper that I have taken the top off of scrape the seeds in the membranes and rinsed it very well I also have some salt and some Sazon seasoning that's optional. I use this sazon seasoning. It's just a blend It's just perfect for just about everything it already has some salt in it. So back off on the salt If you're gonna use it, you could just add this seasoning to it and it would be perfect So what we're gonna do now is we're gonna pop everything Into the food processor and I have the sharp blade going on in here. There goes our diced tomatoes and then our hotel our jalapeno and garlic the lime juice and I'm going to only put these items in here for right now and we'll put the cilantro in in just a Moment. So we'll just pop this on your machine Okay now once you've got that going on you see how pretty it is looks just like that salsa ain't getting the restaurant except we're Gonna go ahead and we're gonna add our cilantro and the reason I didn't want to put this all in it once is because the tomatoes you really want pureed a bit and Then the the cilantro you kind of don't want that so pureed so I'm gonna pop this lid back on Here and then I'm going to chop it Back up the truck.
