Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: Add the whole peeled tomatoes (slightly drained), diced tomatoes with green chiles (undrained), fresh cilantro, chopped onion, lime juice, minced garlic, ground cumin, sea salt, and a pinch of sugar to a food processor.
- Pulse to Desired Consistency: Pulse the ingredients a few times in the food processor until the salsa reaches your preferred texture, making sure no large chunks remain.
- Adjust Seasoning: Taste the salsa and adjust the salt or other seasonings if needed to suit your taste preferences.
- Chill for Best Flavor: For optimal flavor, refrigerate the salsa for at least 1 to 2 hours before serving. This allows the flavors to meld beautifully.

Notes
- For a chunkier salsa, pulse fewer times. For a smoother salsa, pulse more.
- Adjust the amount of jalapeños or green chiles especially if you prefer a milder or spicier salsa.
- If fresh tomatoes are available, you can substitute canned tomatoes for fresher flavor, but canned tomatoes provide convenience and great taste.
- This salsa can be served immediately but tastes best after chilling to let the flavors develop.
- Feel free to experiment by adding a little chopped onion or extra cilantro if desired.
