I've been making this salsa for years and years without measuring. However, a cousin of mine swore she had to have a real recipe (no imagination, that girl!). Here is what I came up with, but feel free to ignore the measures. It will be a little different every time you make it, but always better than anything you can buy at the grocery store. I tend to use the max amount of jalapenos. Being from Texas, I like food that bites back.
Ingredients:
1 (28 ounce) can whole tomatoes, undrained
2 -4 whole pickled jalapeno peppers, stems removed (how hot do you like it )
2 tablespoons dried onion
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 cup loosely packed fresh cilantro leaves
tabasco sauce
salt
lime juice, 1 squeeze (optional)
Directions:
1. Dump everything in a blender and turn it on.
2. Serve with tortilla chips.
3. Store in the refrigerator (it will keep for several days; the flavors will blend and it will get slightly hotter).
