Ingredients
  

  • 1 can whole peeled tomatoes
  • 1 small jalapeño (seeded for less heat, with seeds for more heat)
  • 1 small onion (white or red)
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 1/2 cup fresh cilantro
  • 2 tablespoons lime juice
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon sugar (optional)
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika (optional)

Instructions
 

  • In a blender or food processor, combine the canned tomatoes (with juice), chopped onion, garlic, jalapeño, cilantro, lime juice, cumin, and salt.
  • Pulse until you achieve a smooth but slightly chunky consistency. Depending on your preference, you can blend it more or less to adjust the texture.
  • Taste and adjust seasoning as needed, adding more lime juice, salt, or sugar if necessary to balance the flavor.
  • Refrigerate the salsa for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight, to let the flavors meld together.
