Ingredients
1 white onion, chopped
2 (15 ounce) cans tomato sauce
2 jalapeño peppers, halved, seeds and veins removed
1 serrano pepper, halved, seeds and veins removed
4 cloves garlic
1 lime, juiced
½ teaspoon salt, or more to taste
1 pinch ground black pepper
½ bunch cilantro
Directions
Place onion in a large bowl and set aside. Combine tomato sauce, jalapeño peppers, serrano pepper, garlic, lime juice, salt, and black pepper in a blender. Blend well. Place cilantro in the blender, and pulse several times to chop. Do not over-blend.
Pour the tomato sauce mixture into the bowl with onion and stir well to combine. Refrigerate at least 1 hour to blend flavors before serving.
Editor's Note
For a spicier salsa, leave the jalapeño and serrano peppers whole before blending.
