This Homemade Salsa is simple to make and is done in 5 minutes or less. It’s a favorite in my family and a must try recipe.
Homemade Salsa is one of the best ways to enhance family taco night! You can use a jar of salsa if you want, but having a fresh Homemade Salsa at the table is really nice.
This salsa is really easy to make and tastes fresh! This is a really chunky and hearty salsa, so if you prefer a smoother salsa try my Blender Salsa recipe.
I know everyone will enjoy this with tacos or just dipping with tortilla chips.
How to make Homemade Salsa:
This salsa is really easy to make. Start by draining your diced tomatoes. Once the tomatoes are drained add them and all the other ingredients to a large mixing bowl.
Mix all the ingredients together along with the juice from two limes. Chill in the fridge until ready to serve. Serve with tortilla chips and enjoy!
Ingredient Notes:
- Petite Diced Tomatoes: I used canned tomatoes.
- Red Onion: Red onion works best when adding it to a recipe you will eat raw.
- Minced Garlic
- Cilantro
- Green Chilies: You can add more heat to your salsa and do jalapeños instead.
- Salt
- Limes
Directions:
Step One – Drain petite diced tomatoes and add to a mixing bowl.
Add remaining ingredients and the juice from both limes.
Step Two – Mix together well and serve with tortilla chips.
Add some heat to the salsa:
If you want to kick the salsa up a notch add in some heat.
Fresh jalapenos or even canned jalapenos instead of the green chilies can add some heat to the salsa if you like a more medium to hot style of salsa.
How to make a great salsa:
Salsa is a staple dip for Mexican dishes. It’s great to serve for taco night or for a party.
Making a great salsa is easy. The diced tomatoes make the salsa the perfect chunky consistency.
Adding the green chilies gives the salsa a little heat, but you can always spice it up with jalapenos instead.
Making a great salsa is all about finding the flavors and heat level you and your family prefers. Experiment with seasoning and heat levels to get what you want.
