Pantry Salsa is a family favorite at my house. It's great on tortilla chips, tacos, burritos, fajitas, pork carnitas and nachos. My kids love it so much, we rarely buy jarred salsa any more. Plus, it's a great way to use some of the Kroger tomatoes I bought recently at the Smith's case lot sale!
The reason I call it Pantry Salsa, is because almost all of the ingredients are staples that I keep in my fridge and pantry. This means we can whip up a batch of homemade salsa, any time of the year!
This does make a very large batch of salsa (about 9 cups), which makes it great for parties and potlucks. But you can easily cut this recipe in half. (Tip: When I cut it in half, I freeze the other half of the green chilies and El Pato sauce for the next time I make a half batch.That way I save money and they don't go to waste.)
I make this in my 9 cup Ninja Professional Blender. It is big enough for a full batch and easily purees all of the ingredients in just seconds.
*Note – if you like your salsa just a bit thicker, you can drain the liquid off of the tomatoes and Rotel before adding them to the blender.
