    nannydeb's Notes:

    This is our everyday salsa for tacos, eggs, nachos, etc. If winter tomatoes don't look so good, I've used canned tomatoes in a pinch.

Serves 4

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

  2. Place tortilla wedges on a baking sheet and sprinkle with fresh lime juice, chili powder and cumin. Bake for approximately 20 minutes, but keep an eye on them after 15 minutes so that they don't burn.

  3. In a food processor, puree one of the tomatoes, salt, lime juice, cilantro, jalapenos and garlic.

  4. Add the remaining two tomatoes and "jog blend" the mixture so that the tomatoes stay somewhat chunky.

  5. Put the salsa mixture in a serving bowl and add the diced onion. If you put the onion in the food processor it tastes too oniony.

  6. Serve with the baked chips and enjoy!
