Appetizers and Snacks Recipe ⊷ Hermano Roberto's Simple Salsa

This is a simple salsa recipe I learned from my brother-in-law who worked at an authentic Mexican restaurant. Boiling the jalapeno peppers is the magic to the recipe. This is great with tortilla chips, tacos, or other Mexican recipes.

Ingredients

• 3 jalapeno peppers, or more to taste
• 1 (28 ounce) can whole peeled tomatoes with juice
• ½ teaspoon garlic salt
• ½ teaspoon ground cumin
• ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
• ¼ teaspoon ground white pepper
• 1 tablespoon chopped cilantro

Cooking Directions

1. Bring a saucepan of lightly salted water to a boil; add jalapeno peppers. Reduce heat to medium and boil peppers for 15 minutes; drain. When cool enough to handle, remove stems of peppers.
2. Place jalapeno peppers, tomatoes, garlic salt, cumin, black pepper, white pepper, and cilantro in a blender. Blend to your desired texture, 30 seconds to 1 minute.
