Kari's SMOKIN' Salsa

1 can diced tomatoes
2 cans Rotel (tomatoes with green chile)
1 small onion diced (or blended if you have picky eaters)
4 - 7 cloves of garlic; minced
1 cup fresh cilantro;chopped and loosely packed
1 - 3 jalapenos; seeded and chopped
1 fresh lime; juiced
8 Roma tomatoes; diced
1 1/2 tbsp salt
1 tbsp dried oregano
1 tbsp dried parsley
1 tbsp chili powder
1 tsp paprika

Blend together the canned tomatoes for a nice and thick texture. Place into a large bowl and add all other ingredients as they are finished being prepared. For a different type of "heat" try HOT Rotel in place of regular or mild Rotel. Also for a milder salsa, replace the jalapenos with 2 cans of diced green chiles and switch to the mild Rotel. Remember with salsa that it takes at least an hour for the flavors to blend together properly, so make it ahead of time so it can rest inthe fridge and be ready when you are!
