Hola and Happy Cinco de Mayo! This past week I’ve been craving some On The Border salsa but since we don’t have one near us I had to do some research and experimenting to make my own! The final product is crazy delicious and worthy of any Cinco de Mayo celebration!
Ingredients:
- 2 large Roma Tomatoes, chopped
- 2 cans (14.5 oz) of plain, unseasoned diced tomatoes
- 2 Jalapeños, seeded and chopped (use 3 for spicier salsa)
- Juice of 1 Lime (aprox. 2 Tbsp)
- 1 Tbsp Cumin
- 4 Garlic Cloves, minced
- 1 White Onion, chopped
- 2 tsp salt
- 1 Tbsp crushed Red Pepper
- 1/3 cup fresh Cilantro, chopped
Directions:
Place all ingredients into blender and blend well until desired consistency. Refrigerate for 1 hour then serve with chips and ENJOY!
Now wasn’t that easy? Plus the world’s largest bowl of salsa will only set you back $7 and will keep in fridge for over a week.. if it even lasts that long before it’s been eaten!
Happy snacking,
Natalie
I made a double batch of salsa today because my family is addicted to on the boarders salsa so we went there for dinner a I brought there salsa home a put a bowl of there’s out and a bowl of mine and the three of them could not tell who’s was who’s.
YAY!! I’m so happy to hear that! This has become a weekly staple in our house! We even gave away some jars as Christmas presents this year 🙂 People are always asking for the recipe!
Hi Even though this recipesounds great. I do t understand what everyone is talking about On the border salsa is bright red with no green in it what’s so ever.
Would someone p,ease respond to this?
Hi Susan!
It will have green flecks if you chose to add extra jalepenos to it for a little extra kick. Also, depending on how much you blend the salsa can affect the look. Hope that helps!
That is not the correct recipe, On the Border Restaurant Salsa has no Cilantro, but it does have tomatillos in it.
Thanks for your input! I will have to give that a try!
I haven’t tried this recipe yet, but I’m actually AT the restaurant eating the salsa and there is definitely a hint of cilantro in it.
