Nicole’s “Semi-Homemade” Salsa

1. Pour the Herdez Salsa into your food processor.

2. Quarter the tomatoes and add them to your food processor. Sprinkle them with salt.

3. Make a paste out of the garlic by placing the cloves on your cutting board. Sprinkle them liberally with salt. Place the side of a large knife against a clove and push on the knife to smash the garlic. Kind of move it around to flatten the entire clove until it is pasty. Repeat with the second clove. Add to your food processor.

4. Tear off the very bottom inch or two of the cilantro. Tear the remaining sprigs into a few pieces and add to your food processor. (I like to use the stalks)

5. Coarsely chop the onion and add to your food processor.

6. Squeeze the juice from the lime over the ingredients in the food processor.

7. Pulse until smooth, or to the consistency that you like. We likes ours pretty smooth. Tortilla chips vary in saltiness so taste with one of your chips and see if you need more salt, tomato, cilantro, etc.

*If you want it to be more mild, add more tomatoes or use mild or medium Herdez salsa.
**This recipe works great to freshen up other store-brought salsas, too.
