Fresh Garden Salsa

Ingredients:

5-6 roma tomatoes
1 bunch cilantro
5 stalks green onions
1 clove garlic
1 jalapeno pepper (optional)
2 cans salsa fresca (el pato sauce)
1 teaspoon crushed mexican oregano
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon garlic salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Lemon or lime juice to taste

Instructions:

*I rough chop all ingredients before putting them in the food processor.

In food processor, chop tomatoes to desired consistency (chunky or more pureed).  Pour into a large bowl.  Finely chop garlic, jalapeno pepper and green onions in food processor.  Add to tomatoes.  Then, chop cilantro in food processor until finely chopped.  Add to tomato mixture.  Mix in the 2 cans of salsa fresca, mexican oregano, salt, garlic salt, black pepper, and lime juice to taste.  ( I usually add the juice of 1/2 a small lemon).

Serve with your favorite brand of tortilla chips!
