Authentic Basic Red Salsa

By Susan52

Ingredients

• 1 lb plum (Roma) tomatoes (about 6 tomatoes)
• 1 jalapeño chile, seeded
• 1 clove garlic, peeled
• 1/4 medium white onion
• 1/2 teaspoon chicken tomato bouillon granules
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup chicken broth
• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil

Preparation

Step 1

In blender, place all ingredients except oil. Cover; blend until smooth.

In 2-quart saucepan, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add tomato mixture; cook about 5 minutes or until hot. Serve warm or cold with tortilla chips, as desired. Cover and refrigerate any remaining salsa.

Tips

To blend the ingredients, you could use a food processor instead of a blender.

This salsa, which is a little thinner than a typical bottled salsa, also makes a great enchilada sauce.
