Did we nail it? Or did we NAIL IT!

1 blender full (change servings and units)

Ingredients

1/2 onion, chopped fine (Thats almost 1/2 an onion)
1/2 cup fresh cilantro, packed into the measuring cup
28 ounces whole canned tomatoes
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 lime
2 seeded jalapenos, chopped (reserve seeds if desired for increasing heat)
cayenne pepper (optional)

Directions

1
In a blender, combine cilantro, tomatoes, jalapenos, juice of 1/2 a lime.Blend.
2
Add spices and salt.
3
The salsa will have a small bite from just the jalapenos, I like to taste it now and then add in minced seeds for heat -- Remember to add in small amounts, jalapenos add the kind of heat that sneaks up on you. Not to mention one night in the fridge with all those flavors mingling could up the heat substantially. Sometimes I use cayenne pepper to build heat bc it dosen't seem to have as strong of staying power on your tounge. Then again I'm sure others would disagree and have their own methods for building heat.
4
Last add the onions (as much to your liking) and once this is done PUT THE BLENDER AWAY, otherwise you end up with spicy vegetable pulp, the onions will give it texture. Sometimes I leave out the cilantro until I add the onions to give the sauce even more texture.Of course you'll want to chop the leaves a little.
5
ENJOY!

This was very easy to make and I love it.. It's better than any salsa I've ever had at a restaurant. I still can't believe it came from my kitchen.

So fresh and delicious. I added a bit more cilantro and did not add any of the jalapeno seeds (this time!) due to the request of my mild mannered dinner guests. ;0) The jalapenos simply give it really good flavor- without the heat- and the chili powder is a great addition without being over powering. DELICIOUS salsa that can easily be tweaked to your desired heat. Will definitely make this again and again! ***UPDATE: Have now made this salsa a number of times WITH the jalapenos and their seeds- LOVE it!!!! Try it with my recipe: Pintos and Blacks! So, so, sooooo good! Thanks for the BEST salsa recipe out there!

I am a proud Texan far away from home here in CO! This tasted delicious, but for my own personal preference, it was a bit too runny for me. I made it again, using a large can of diced tomatoes, slightly drained & that did the trick. I also used a bit more garlic, just b/c that is what I prefer. Thanks fellow Texan!! This one is a keeper!

Delicious! We loved this quick, easy, and flavorful salsa. I made this in a food processor, adding everything except the cilantro and onion. After everything was mixed, I added the cilantro leaves and pulsed just a few times to lightly chop. Then I added the onion, which I had coarsely chopped, and pulsed a couple of times. This left the cilantro and onion still chunky. After removing the salsa from the food processor, I stirred in 3-4 shakes of habanero hot pepper sauce for added heat. Yum!! Thank you for sharing this wonderful recipe...it is definitely a keeper! Made for Cookbook Tag
