Chi Chi's Tomato Salsa

Mild salsa is not made with stewed tomatoes.
It is equal parts of canned tomatoes and crushed tomatoes.
Then you add diced, canned green chili's, diced onions,
diced green onions, and any kind of taco seasoning pack will work.
You may want to add a little more salt.
This is a very mildly flavored, mostly tomato tasting salsa.
The correct name for the salsa is Fresh Garden Salsa.
I make it all of the time and people constantly
ask me for the recipe. You won't get any closer than this.

Ingredients:
15 Roma (Plum) tomatoes- fresh, diced
1 bunch of cilantro including stems-
chopped fine with food processor.
1 large onion, peeled and diced
2 fresh serrano peppers, chopped
3 cloves of garlic peeled and minced
1 bunch green onions chopped (green and white parts)
2 limes or about 1/4 cup of lime juice
1 tbsp salt
3 tbsp. cumin
1 tbsp chili powder
1 tbsp garlic powder
1 tsp pepper
1 tsp. sugar

Directions:
After dicing tomatoes, put about 1/3 of them
in a blender with the serrano peppers, garlic,
lime juice and all of the spices.
Blend all and Mix it back into
the rest of the ingredients.
