Step 1 Add the tomatoes to a blender with about half of the canning liquid. Add the onion, cilantro, jalapeno, garlic, lime juice, kosher salt, cumin, and black pepper.

Step 2 Blend to your desired texture. This can be thick and chunky or smooth. I like mine without any large tomato chunks and smoother. Season with salt as needed.
