One of our Favorite Salsa Recipes

Sandia Seed's Favorite Salsa Recipe
3-4 Large Fresh Tomatoes such as the Abe Lincoln Heirloom Tomato
OR 
1 Large (28oz) can Whole Tomatoes 

1/2 Cup - Fresh Cilantro leaves (use as much as  you like)
1-2 Jalapenos (I leave in the seeds and rinds to make it spicier)
1-2 Green Chiles (any variety, roasted & peeled is always nice!)
1/2 Onion (diced, soak in cold water 20+ minutes to sweeten)
1-2 Garlic Cloves
Fresh Lime Juice (1 lime)
Teaspoon of Cumin, Chili Powder, and Hot Pepper Flakes to your taste
Salt & Pepper

Process everything (excluding onions) in a food processor.
Add onions at end and blend for just a second so the onions stay chunky. 
Refrigerate for an hour+ for flavors to develop, or just eat it right away! ;) 
Enjoy with tortilla chips!
