There's nothing like a bowl of freshly made spicy red salsa!

This quick homemade version blends tomatoes, chiles, and spices for that perfect balance of heat, tang, and flavor. Whether you love it with chips, tacos, or burritos, this salsa roja brings the warmth and spice we crave all year long.

This fiery salsa is proof that simple ingredients can create something bold and delicious!

Ingredients

• ½ medium onion
• 5 Roma tomatoes
• 1 teaspoon oregano
• 1 tablespoon cumin
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon lime juice
• 1 tablespoon minced garlic
• ½ teaspoon salt, or to taste
• 4 large serrano peppers (or jalapeños; adjust the quantity to your preferred spice level)

Instructions

1. Roughly chop the onion and tomatoes to make blending easier.
2. Add all the ingredients to a blender.
3. Pulse a few times until everything is combined and reaches your desired consistency. If the salsa is too watery, you can pour it into a strainer to remove excess liquid.
4. Serve and enjoy!

Notes

Optional Tips: Lightly toast the dry spices in a pan over low heat until just fragrant for a more intense flavor. You can also lightly sauté your onions if you prefer a milder onion flavor.
