Chuy's Famous Fresca Salsa

I'm from Texas, I don't if that supposed to mean something when it comes to Salsa - but what I do know is if you go to any supermarket here there is half and aisle top to bottom of various salsa's.... @ the local farmers and flea market you will find several vendors swearing they have the best salsa... I will go to certain mexican restaurants JUST for their salsa ... CHUY'S is one of those locations - they have pretty good food and the atmosphere is fun but it's quite pricey when you are hauling 10 to 12 people in tow! So... I have one of their infamous recipes that greet their customers on the table when you visit them - Fresca Salsa - You control the heat with the Serrano's  no need to thank me, you are very welcome ;)

Here in my favorite Ninja Blender the pre blended salsa


Homemade Salsa - Will make you want to start canning My family loves this salsa - we throw it on burgers, salads, tacos, soups, sliced veggies etc!!!

3 ounces fresh serrano peppers (about ½ cup, stemmed and chopped coarsely)
½ cup cilantro
1 cup onion, peeled and chopped
1/3 cup fresh lime juice
1 tablespoon salt (or to taste)
1 teaspoon garlic salt (or to taste)
1½ pounds Roma tomatoes, cores removed and coarsely chopped

Wash vegetables thoroughly. Place serranos, cilantro, onion, lime juice, salt and garlic salt in a food processor (or blender), and pulse on low speed for 5 seconds. Add tomatoes, and pulse on low speed until desired consistency. (these proportions make a very spicy salsa. Cut down on serranos if you are not a chilihead.)
