5-Minute Salsa

Cook Time: about 5 minutes
Cost: $2
Serves: 2-4

This is a super fast, super easy, super good salsa recipe.

Ingredients:

  • 1 can diced tomatoes - with jalapeno peppers (if you can't find this, just get a jar of jalapeños and add some jalapeños with juice) ($0.65 at kroger)
  • 1/4 white onion (typically <$1 per pound)
  • dash of cumin
  • tortilla chips ($1 at kroger)
  • dash of coriander or cilantro (if you have it)
Directions:


I like my salsa pretty smooth. If you like yours chunky, then don't use the immersion blender.


Chop 1/4 white onion.



In a large bowl, add onion, canned tomatoes, coriander,  and "dash" of cumin (i like a lot).

If you like a smoother salsa, then use an immersion blender. Otherwise, just stir.
















Conclusion:

4/5 Beans the Cat!





This would probably get a 5/5 if I had cilantro. It's really very easy and very tasty... and pretty spicy! If its too spicy for you, get regular diced tomatoes and jalapeños in juice. Add jalapeños and juice to taste before blending.

The nice thing about the canned tomatoes with jalapeños is that the tomatoes just marinate in the jalapeños over time.


Boyfriend says: "It's a spicy tomato. Very rich in flavor with a kick that'll knock your socks off!".
