Rotel Salsa
What makes Ro*tel so special? You know what I like most about Rotel salsa is simply that it is so dependable each time you open the can.  Each time you open a can of Rotel salsa you know exactly how it is going to tase, so you don’t have to worry about sometimes the salsa being too spicy, and sometimes it may not have enough of heat. This salsa can be put together very quickly, and best of all can make this so inexpensively. Making you own homemade salsa costs so much less than buying a jar of salsa from the grocery store. I like to stock up on Rotel when it goes on sale. I always have a few cans of Rotel sauce in my pantry.

Yield: approximately 1 1/2 cups.
1 Can Rotel Diced Tomatoes and Chiles
1 Large Tomato
2 Green Onions
1 tablespoon lime juice
1 garlic clove
1 teaspoon salt
Chop fresh tomato, green onions, and garlic, combine with can of Rotel tomatoes and salt to taste. I personally like to add a little fresh cilantro to this when I make it.

Place the vegetable oil in a saute pan over medium-high heat. Add the serranos and saute until the peppers are soft.

Place the serranos, tomatoes, onion, and cilantro in a food processor fitted with the metal blade. Process until coarsely ground.
