One of the great things about military life is all their new friends you make. My friend Deanna gave me a lot of different recipes. One of the best so far was homemade salsa. I always have this is the fridge, it lasts about two weeks. You can add a whole jalapeno, I don't because I like mine less spicy. So it's all about what kind of flavor your getting at. This makes a lot if you don't want so much you can use a 14 ounce can of regular tomatoes, instead of a 28 ounce. Deanna makes her with fresh tomatoes, you can also do that just substitute instead of can tomatoes and add a little bit of green chilies.
Deanna's Salsa
1 28oz. can of diced tomatoes
1 14oz. can of tomatoes with green chilies added.
1 onion diced
3 to 4 TBS of minced garlic
Handful of cilantro with the stems cut off
1 Jalapeno (optional)
Seasoning
Seasoning Salt
Pepper
Garlic Powder
Garlic Salt
Onion Powder
Combined the first ingredients in a food processor or blender. Blend till mixed together. Then season to your liking. Blend again after seasoning. I always taste test to see what it needs more of and blend again. When it is seasoned to your liking, store in a Rubbermaid container. This is great with chips, tacos, enchilada, quesdillas, etc!
