Quick Salsa from Canned Ingredients
This is a very quick salsa, with great Mexican flavors, that is very easy to make. Keep the ingredients handy when camping or make this salsa when you need something quick for guests.
1 28 ounce can diced tomatoes in juice
2 7 ounce cans diced green chiles (Anaheim)
4 tablespoons diced canned jalapeños
1 tablespoon sugar
2 large cloves garlic, coarsely chopped
salt to taste
Place canned tomatoes (juice and all) with chiles into a food processor and process for 20 seconds. Pour into a bowl and set aside.
Place coarsely chopped garlic into food processor with 1/2 cup of processed tomato chile mixture and sugar. Process for 10 seconds and add to bowl of ingredients. Salt to taste.
For additional Mexican authenticity, add 3 tablespoons of freshly chopped cilantro or epazote.
To allow flavors to blend, let salsa sit for 15 to 20 minutes before serving.
