Ingredients

Scale
  • ¼ large sweet white onion (Vidalia recommended)

  • 1 tablespoon canned diced jalapeño

  • 2 (4 oz) cans green chiles

  • 2 (14 oz) cans diced tomatoes (drain one)

  • ¾ teaspoon garlic salt

  • ¾ teaspoon cumin

  • ¾ teaspoon sugar

  • ½ teaspoon salt

  • ¼ teaspoon garlic powder

  • 2 teaspoons lime juice


Instructions

  • Add onion and jalapeño to a blender or food processor. Pulse until finely diced.

  • Add remaining ingredients to the blender.

  • Blend until desired consistency is reached.

  • Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.

  • Chill for at least 2 hours before serving for best flavor.
