This was a huge hit at our house. My husband loves salsa and said this is one of the best ones we have had yet. I will be trying to make one with not so much heat by seeding the jalapeños next time.

I sliced the jalapeno lenthwise and took out the seeds before I roasted them. I though the salsa had too much garlic. To make up for the garlicy taste I added about 10 ounces of canned black beans. My husband thought it was very good.

Tastes like salsa from a good mexican restaurant! Made 3 batches of this in less than 1 week! I did cut the salt down to 1/2 tsp and added a little fresh lime juice. It is spicy, but not over the top. I will never buy store bought salsa again!

In whoever's recipe's defense, maybe I put too much garlic but I thought I put 5 cloves. THERE IS WAY TOO MUCH GARLIC. Also, I noticed D's Salsa recipe has more reviews and also includes lime and cilantro which I think might be missing from here. Will get salsa from Mexican restaurant in the future.

This is a great recipe. If you don't like heat you will want to cut down on the jalapeno, but we like things hot. It becomes a little watery after being frozen but it still maintains a good flavor.

I didn't care for this at all. It tasted more like tomato sauce than salsa. To add flavor, I had to add a can of diced green chilis, more garlic, more cumin and more salt. I really not like this at all. I think if I would have left out the 28 oz can of whole tomatoes, it probably would have been perfect.

This salsa was so good and very easy to make. I just wish it had a little more heat (I like things hot). I took out the seeds to the jalapenos and next time I would leave at least 2 with seeds. It has a sweet and spicy flavor. I left out the cumin because I did not have any and I didn't miss it.

The definition of "fresh" is not cooked. Canned tomatoes work so well in salsa. They are picked at the peak of ripeness. DUH Grocery store tomatoes have no taste. To cut the heat take out the seeds and veins. The jalapeno's I have been getting are very mild. I also would add lime and culantro.

Well I have been to quite few Mexican restaurants. I have always been looking for the recipe chip dip that was just like this. I can't believe it, Thank you. I did add a few things from my garden like 4 Fresh Jalapenos, and 8 - 10 Culantro leaves (just like Cilantro). I also had to buy a small can of diced tomatoes with jalapenos inside they looked to good to pass up and a large regular can of diced tomatoes,plus the juice from 2 key limes. everything in the blender after the roasting, and bam all done. Thank you. Oh it was a bit too spicy hot for the wife so she diluted it with regular diced tomatoes and enjoyed it with Tostitos
