Discover the secrets of making Uncle Julio's salsa recipe at home with our easy, step-by-step guide.
Equipment
- Blender or food processor
- Large bowl
- Measuring spoons
- Measuring cups
Ingredients
- 4 large ripe tomatoes
- 1 cup chopped fresh cilantro
- 1/2 cup diced white onion
- 2 cloves garlic
- 2 seeded jalapeño peppers
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
Instructions
Preparing the Base
- Place the quartered tomatoes, chopped cilantro, diced onion, minced garlic, and seeded jalapeños into the blender.
- Pour in the lime juice, sprinkle the salt and cumin.
Blending to Perfection
- Pulse the blender a few times to get the ingredients mixed.
- Blend until you reach your desired consistency. Although some people like it chunky, others like it smooth. You do you!
- Remember, blending too much can turn your salsa into soup. Unless you’re into that sort of thing – no judgment here!
Taste and Adjust
- Give your salsa a taste test. Need more salt? More lime? Adjust it to your liking.
Notes
- Chill Before Serving: Letting your salsa sit in the fridge for an hour or two can enhance the flavors.
- Customize Your Heat: Add more jalapeño or even a dash of hot sauce if you like it spicy.
