Ingredients

  • 1 (28-oz) can whole peeled tomatoes, with their juices
  • 1 cup roughly chopped fresh cilantro
  • 1 cup diced white onion (from 1 small white onion)
  • 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
  • 2 cloves garlic, roughly chopped
  • 1 tablespoon crushed red pepper flakes (use less for mild salsa)

Instructions

  1. Place the whole peeled tomatoes with their juices, cilantro, onion, red wine vinegar, garlic, crushed red pepper flakes, salt, Mexican oregano, smoked paprika, cumin, and sugar into a blender or food processor.
  2. Blend until the salsa is mostly smooth but still slightly chunky.
  3. Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed.
  4. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to develop.
