Ingredients

Scale

For the Salsa Verde

  • 3 cups chopped green tomatoes
  • 1/4 cup minced white onion
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped cilantro
  • 2 tbsp minced jalapeno
  • 2 tbsp fresh lime juice
  • 1/2 tsp sea salt
  • 1/4 tsp ground cumin
  • 1/4 tsp dried oregano

For Serving

  • Que Pasa Yellow Tortilla Chips, as desired

Instructions

  1. Prepare Ingredients: Chop the green tomatoes, mince the white onion and jalapeno, and finely chop the cilantro to ensure all ingredients are ready for blending.
  2. Blend Salsa: Place the chopped green tomatoes, onion, cilantro, jalapeno, lime juice, sea salt, ground cumin, and dried oregano into a blender or food processor. Pulse until you reach the desired salsa consistency, whether chunky or smooth.
  3. Adjust Consistency: If the tomatoes release too much liquid making the salsa watery, drain the excess liquid through a fine mesh strainer to maintain optimal texture.
  4. Serve or Store: Serve the salsa immediately with tortilla chips as a fresh dip, or transfer it to a sealed container and refrigerate until ready to use for enhanced flavor melding.

Notes

  • The salsa can be customized by adjusting the amount of jalapeno for preferred heat level.
  • Use fresh lime juice for the best vibrancy and acidity in flavor.
  • If unavailable, substitute green tomatoes with tomatillos for a traditional salsa verde taste.
  • Refrigerate salsa in an airtight container to keep it fresh for up to 3-4 days.
  • Drain excess liquid carefully to avoid watery salsa and preserve texture.
