Fire-Roasted Salsa is a restaurant-style salsa that only takes minutes to make in the blender and really packs in the flavor.
Since Cinco De Mayo is right around the corner, my mind has been on Margaritas, tacos, guacamole, and Tres Leches Cake.
After doing inventory, I realized there is no salsa recipe on Spicy Southern Kitchen. Had to fix that!
My favorite salsa to make at home is this Fire-Roasted Salsa using canned fire-roasted tomatoes. They give salsa a wonderful smoky flavor. Using canned tomatoes instead of roasting tomatoes saves tons of time but doesn’t sacrifice flavor if you use a good quality canned tomato.
This salsa is like the one you would get at a Mexican restaurant, but it has so much more flavor. It’s really thick and not watered down at all.
I add plenty of garlic, onion, green chilies, cilantro, and a jalapeno for heat. Plus some lime juice and cumin. A teaspoon of sugar helps tone down the acidity of the tomatoes.
Ingredients Needed
2 cans Fire-Roasted Diced Tomatoes
Diced Green Chiles- I just use half a can.
Red Onion
Fresh Garlic
Jalapeno
Cilantro
Lime Juice
Sugar
Salt
Cumin
Olive Oil
Recipe Tips
You can use a food processor ninstead of a blender.
To be on the safe side, use disposable gloves when you cut the jalapeno. If you want less heat, get rid of the seeds and white membrane.
Make-Ahead and Storage
Fire-Roasted Salsa is best made at least a few hours before serving so the flavors have a chance to blend. It can be kept in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 5 days.
