Homemade Texas Mission Salsa
Homemade salsa ingredients : Texas Mission Salsa. Salty, spicy, juicy, and mouth-wateringly fresh. YUM! Sadly tomato season is FAR too short. It’s a bummer, but I have a solution. I used to live in Texas, and while I was there a super cool lady gave me her secret recipe, so I’m sharing it with a few of my closest friends… YOU!
Okay, not so secret, but when you try it and share some with your friends, you’ll want to make it YOUR secret recipe. This meets all of my fresh salsa needs but I don’t have to have fresh off the vine toms (or the icky, mealy grocery store ones) to make it! What’s better is that it’s the easiest thing you’ll ever make. Ever. It’s so easy that you could seriously print my first pic and make it.
….but just in case you’re into the details, here’s the formula:
Texas Mission Salsa
1- 28 oz. can of tomatoes, or two smaller cans (whole, sliced, diced…whatever)
2-4 garlic cloves sliced a couple of times
1/2 – 1 seeded (unless you live on the wild side) jalapeño pepper
a fist full of cilantro
1/4-1/2 of a small onion cut into chunks
heaping 1/2 tsp. black pepper
1 tsp. salt
Blend all ingredients until chopped and mixed well. Eat it up! Refrigerate it if there’s any left over. It’s actually even better after it’s been hanging out in the refrigerator over night because the black pepper flavor comes out more.
Feeling a little wild and crazy? Add a squeeze of lime.
You want some, right?
Me too, but I’m lucky because I have some in my fridge right now. So go dig out your blender and in 5 minutes or less you’ll have some too and we’ll chow together! WOO WOO!
Enjoy!

Thank You SOOOOOO Much!!!!! This salsa is awesome. I Love salsa and this recipe is the best I have ever made. I must say it is even better than my favorite restaurant. April
Lisa says
Are the canned tomatoes in puree or in tomato juice??
Shelley says
Just a normal can of diced tomatoes is what I used. Looks like it’s in tomato juice. I LOVE this recipe! 🙂

I’ve used crushed, diced, sliced or whole and it always worked out. Just be sure not to use italian tomatoes. They’re seasoned and we only made that mistake once. Icky combination of italian and mexican flavoring. Enjoy!!!!

Found this on Pinterest. I just made this and it is awesome. Finally!! I cannot tell you how many times I have tried to find a great salsa recipe. I honestly think this might be better than fresh tomatoes. Thanks for sharing.

I made this and it’s really good a little on the spicy side for me instead of using canned tomatoes I used fresh everything and the lime really gives it a kick
Tracey says

So good I could have skipped the torilla chips & ate it with a spoon.
Just like one of my fav restaurants- and I go there for the salsa!
