A quick and flavorful fire roasted salsa recipe that comes together in just 5 minutes using simple ingredients and a food processor. Perfect for dipping chips or adding a smoky kick to your meals.
Ingredients
Scale
Produce
- 1/4 medium white onion, peeled
- 2 tablespoons diced jalapenos (canned or 1 medium fresh jalapeno, stem and seeds removed)
- 2 cloves garlic, peeled
- 1/2 fresh lime, juiced
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro
Canned Goods
- 14.5 ounces fire roasted diced tomatoes with garlic (such as Hunt’s brand)
Spices
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
Instructions
- Pulse Aromatics: Add the peeled onion, diced jalapeno, and garlic cloves to the bowl of a food processor. Pulse 5-6 times, stopping to check the size of the chunks until they reach your desired consistency. Scrape down the sides of the bowl to ensure even blending.
- Add Remaining Ingredients: Pour in the fire roasted diced tomatoes with garlic, squeeze in the juice of half a lime, add kosher salt, and fresh cilantro. Cover the processor and pulse 1-2 more times to combine all ingredients evenly, keeping some texture in the salsa.
- Serve or Store: Transfer the freshly made salsa into a serving dish and enjoy immediately, or store it in a pint-sized mason jar in the refrigerator. The flavors will deepen and meld beautifully if allowed to rest overnight.
- Enjoy: Pair this fire roasted salsa with tortilla chips, tacos, grilled meats, or your favorite dishes to add a smoky, zesty flavor.
Notes
- For a spicier salsa, leave some jalapeno seeds in or add extra diced jalapenos.
- Adjust salt to taste depending on your preference and the saltiness of canned tomatoes.
- This salsa is best consumed within 5 days when stored refrigerated.
- You can substitute fresh diced tomatoes if fire roasted canned are unavailable, but the smoky flavor will be less pronounced.
- Use a good quality kosher salt for best flavor.
