Easy Blender Salsa

My family begs me to make this during football season, with or without company coming over. It’s so easy to make, that I don’t mind. Use caution with the jalapeno pepper, however. I recommend using kitchen or disposable gloves. These amounts are the flavor my family likes, but you can use less or more jalapeno pepper depending on your tastes.

Original recipe makes 28 servings

Ingredients

2 (14.4 ounce) cans diced tomatoes
1 jalapeno chile, seeds and ribs removed
1/2 yellow onion, quartered
1/2 bunch cilantro leaves
