easy homemade salsa

football sunday is always a reason to indulge in some good salsa.  this sunday we were all out of store bought salsa, so with a little help from our friend the pioneer woman and a pantry full of canned goods we whipped up a delicious and easy batch of homemade salsa!  Even with an embarrassing seahawks loss we were still satisfied with good food.

Ingredients:
1 can whole tomatoes (28 oz.) with juice
2 cans diced green chilies
¼ C. chopped onion
1 clove garlic
1 whole jalapeño seeded and diced
½ C. cilantro
1 C. frozen corn
¼ t. salt
½ t. cumin
½ t. chili powder
¼ t. sugar
The juice of 1 whole lime

Directions:
Turn the oven on broil and place the frozen corn on a baking sheet.  Bake until the top is golden brown and set aside.




Place the can of tomatoes, green chilies, chopped onion, garlic, jalapeno and cilantro in the food processor (we used a blender because that is all we had) and blend until smooth. 

If you like your salsa a little chunkier save some of the diced onion and one can of green chilies and add after you have processed the salsa

Pour the salsa into a bowl and stir in the salt, cumin, chili powder, sugar and corn.  Finish off with the limejuice and salt and pepper to taste!

Note: if you would like a spicier salsa do not take the seeds out of the jalapeño.
