Ed's Award Winning Salsa

I have won a few contests with variations of this recipe. This is the basic recipe and I hardly ever make anything twice exactly the same as I made it previously. So experiment! That's what's cool about cooking. The best part is this Salsa can be made in about 15 minutes.

• 1 - Big can (32 oz) Hunt’s Petite Diced Tomatoes
• 2 - 8oz cans of Hunt’s Diced Tomatoes with Basil and Garlic
• 4 cap fulls Mrs. Dash Garlic and Herb seasoning
• 2 Tablespoons Garlic Powder or 4-6 cloves of fresh Garlic
• 2 Tablespoons Cayenne Powder or New Mexican Chile Powder
• ½ bunch of Cilantro chopped
• 2 small cans of diced Green Chiles
• 1 medium sized can of Herdez whole jalapeños with the carrots and onions (save ¼ can of the juice)

Drain as much of the juice out of all of the cans tomatoes as possible. I usually dump the tomatoes into a strainer to remove the juice. Cut the tops off of the jalapeños. Put the jalapeños, ¼ can of the Herdez jalapeños juice, all of the carrots and onions in the Herdez can, tomatoes and cilantro in a food processor and puree. Pour in a glass bowl. Add the diced Green Chiles and the all spices and stir. Let sit at room temperature and stir every few minutes. Taste and adjust the spices. Clean up and you're done. Should have taken you about 15 minutes.
