Preparation

Step 1

1. In blender, add onion, half of the tomatoes, garlic and V8 juice. Blend until you achieve desired consistency.
2. Pour mixture into large bowl.
3. Add the remaining tomatoes, cilantro, and jalepenos to the blender and blend until you achieve desired consistency. NOTE: Use caution with jalepenos. May want to add one at a time to mixture and taste before adding more.
4. Combine into the bowl and add remaining spices and lime juice to taste.

NOTE: Make this in two batches. I reduced the onion to 1/2 of an onion because a full onion made the salsa bitter.
