Make restaurant style homemade tomato salsa in under 5 minutes, with this easy recipe. All you need is some chips to dip in and a glass of nice cold margarita!

5 minute Restaurant Style Homemade Tomato Salsa

Any time we go out to eat Mexican food, the kiddo and I order chips, salsa and guacamole. More often then not, we fill ourselves with these and barely have any space left for the real food. But, who cares, right?! Chips and salsa is food too.

I ate the blended salsa at restaurants, loved them, but somehow anytime I made salsa at home it was always the chunky one. Like a tossed salad. Now, I like that too, but somehow, to scoop up with chips, this blended, almost smooth tomato salsa was always the best.

So, how to make restaurant style tomato salsa at home?

It is simple. It is easy. As easy as in 5 minutes. Just put onion, jalapenos, fresh tomatoes, canned fire roasted tomatoes, chili powder, cumin powder, garlic, cilantro, salt, pepper and lime in a food processor and give it a whirl for just under a minute till it is all chunky smooth. Pour into a dipping bowl. Lay out some chips. And tada, it is all ready!

And the best part is, the fire roasted tomatoes, add some nice texture and smokiness to the salsa that goes well with the chili powder. The fresh tomatoes and lime add enough zing that the whole thing tastes fresh even with the canned tomatoes.
