Preparation

Step 1

FOOD PROCESSOR METHOD:
In food processor, add garlic and process until minced. Quarter the onion and add it with sliced jalapenos. Process until minced. Add green chiles, tomatoes, cilantro, oregano, cumin, pepper, 1 tablespoon salt, lime juice, and vinegar. Pulse 5-6 times until desired consistency is reached.

BLENDER METHOD:
Add to blender: garlic, onion, jalapeno slices, cilantro, oregano, cumin, pepper, salt, lime juice, vinegar, and pepper flakes. Blend until evenly minced, stopping to scrape down sides as needed. Add canned tomoatoes and chiles; pulse until blended and desired consistency.

TASTE: Add more salt to taste, if needed. For more heat, add crushed pepper flakes to taste.

REFRIGERATE or FREEZE: May be eaten right away, but it's best to refrigerate for 4-6 hours or overnight to allow flavors to blend and mellow. When full amount of vinegar is used, it can keep in refrigerator for up to 2 weeks, maybe longer. Salsa may also be frozen.

FOR A THICKER SALSA: Drain out some of the liquid using a wire mesh strainer.
