Scale
Ingredients
- 2 Cans Ro-tel Tomatoes with Peppers
- 1/2 onion cut into chunks
- Cilantro (to taste)
- 1 t minced Garlic
- 1/2 t Salt
- Few Grinds of Black Pepper
- Minced Jalapeno
Instructions
- Drain Tomatoes

- Add tomatoes – pulse again until desired texture is acheived (we like ours not-so-chunky)
- Serve with your favorite chips and mexican foods – I love this on fresh tortillas with butter!
