Salsa de Mayo

A basic salsa based on Chili's famous salsa.

Ingredients

1. 2 14.5 cans tomatoes & green chilies
2. 2 14.5 cans whole tomatoes (plus the juice!)
3. 3 to 5 jalapeno peppers, seeded (reserve seeds)
4. 1/2 cup onion (white or yellow)
5. 4 to 5 cloves of garlic (more if desired)
6. 2 teaspoons cumin
7. 1/2 to 1 teaspoon honey
8. Salt to taste

Directions

1. In a food processor blend onions, garlic, and jalapenos for just a bit. You don't want to process them too much. Just until they are "chopped."
2. Add all the cans of tomatoes with the salt, honey, and cumin.
3. Process until well-blended (do not puree!)
4. Add reserved jalapeno seeds TO TASTE! Not too many... they are hot!
5. Salt to taste.
6. Chill for an hour or two (if desired - this is not absolutely necessary, but it does allow the flavors to come together).

We use a large Cuisinart to make this salsa.
• Everything is to taste! Sometimes we add more cumin, sometimes more salt, sometimes more garlic. Don't be afraid to experiment.
• We love to serve this with blue corn chips.
