This is my favorite salsa recipe to make and tastes just like what you would get at a Mexican restaurant! Delicious, fresh, and flavorful.
Key Ingredients
Canned whole peeled tomatoes – you can use fresh tomatoes but I prefer canned tomatoes because they break down better and have a nice flavor.
Canned diced tomatoes with green chilies – the spices and green chilies add extra flavor.
You can make this salsa using either a food processor or blender. Serve it as an appetizer or alongside your burritos, tacos, taquitos, or anything you like!
