Homemade Salsa


SPICY!!
1/2 spanish onion
1 whole jalepeno pepper
1/2 jar stewed tomatoes, juice and all
1/2 red bell pepper
1/2 green bell pepper
1 clove garlic
1 tbsp lime juice
1 small bunch of cilantro (optional)
Salt and pepper

Roughly chop all the vegetables and cilantro and throw in the bowl of a food processor fitted with a steel blade. Pour in the lime juice. Pulse the food processor until salsa is desired "chunkiness." Leave the processor running if you like everything finely minced.
Season with salt and pepper, pulse 2 more times. Pour out of food processor and serve with tortilla chips, tacos, burritos, anything you like!
Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to two weeks.

*I love making homemade salsa because it just tastes fresher than store-bought. It's great to make in the summer when all the veggies are nice and crisp. I usually skip the cilantro, only because I don't like the taste. But you could absolutely substitute parsley if you wanted to. If you like your salsa on the milder side, remove the seeds from the jalepeno before tossing in the food pro. Or, just skip the jalepeno altogether, and just put in regular bell peppers. But who doesn't like a little spice every now and again?!

Now you are the body of Christ, and each one of you is a part of it. 1 Corinthians 12:27
