Desperation Salsa

I don't think I've ever found a jarred salsa that I really, really like. Harry and David's salsas come close, but they still taste like fancier, more expensive jarred salsa.

My menu called for turkey tacos this evening, and I really wanted a fresh tasting salsa to go with them. It's not tomato season here yet, so I had to use canned. What I came up with turned out pretty darn good. I'm sure I will be tweaking it after I have actual groceries in the house (which will depend on how long we are under a tap water ban).

Here's what I used:

1 can Del Monte Zesty Mild Green Chile diced tomatoes
1 small can diced green chile (any brand will do)
1/2 onion (raw)
1 jalapeno, seeded and chopped roughly
lime juice
dash hot sauce of your choice (I used Cholula)

I threw all those things in a blender and gave it a whirl. The result tasted pretty fresh and not at all artificial or canned. Like I said before, I will tweak it later with fresh tomatoes, fresh cilantro, etc.- I just don't have those things around right now.

There's no pic because I forgot to take one and now that I'm sitting at the computer, I'm too lazy to get back up.
