Restaurant Style Salsa


1 can (28 oz) whole tomatoes with juice
2 cans (10 oz) Rotel- diced tomatoes and green chiles
1/4 c. chopped onion
1 clove minced garlic
1 whole jalapeno quartered and sliced thin (oh yes, with the seeds and all)
1/4 t. sugar
1/4 t. salt
1/4 t. ground cumin
1/2 c. cilantro
1/2 of a lime juiced, or 1 T bottled lime juice

Combine the whole tomatoes, rotel, onion, jalapeno, garlic, sugar, salt, cumin, lime juice and cilantro in a blender or food processor. Pulse until you get salsa to the consistency you like- 10-15 pulses. Test the seasonings with a tortilla chip and adjust as needed. Refrigerate for at least an hour. Serve with tortilla chips or with cheese nachos.
