Preparation
Step 1
Place all of the ingredients into a food processor or high-speed blender. Pulse in 2 second bursts until all ingredients are chopped and combined. Note: Don’t over blend your salsa. You want a fine texture, but not a puree.
Step 2
Leave salsa covered and refrigerated for a couple of hours before you are ready to serve. This will bring all the flavors together.

Chef's notes
Adjust the spice by using as many or as few jalapenos as you prefer. Jalapenos with vertical lines indicate aged peppers, which are spicier.
Do not over-blend the salsa to maintain texture.
Let the salsa marinate in the refrigerator for a few hours to enhance flavors.
Use petite diced canned tomatoes for best results. Adjust salt based on whether the canned tomatoes are seasoned.
