Ingredients
Yield: about 4 cups
Prep Time: 2 minutes
Cook Time: 0 minutes
Total Time: 2 minutes
one 28-ounce can tomatoes, including juice (I used these whole, peeled plum tomatoes)
1 small yellow onion, peeled and roughly chopped
1 or 2 jalepeno peppers, de-stemmed and roughly chopped (I prefer 2; remove seeds to greatly reduce heat level)
3 cloves garlic, peeled and finely chopped
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cumin, or to taste
1 1/2 teaspoons salt, or to taste (remember some brands of tomatoes and chips are much saltier than others)
1/4 to 1 teaspoon granulated sugar, optional and to taste (balances the heat and tomato acidity; start with less and add more if necessary; careful not to over-sweeten)
1 or 2 handfuls cilantro leaves, discard stems (I prefer 2)
about 3 tablespoons lime juice
about 3/4 cup corn, optional
about 3/4 cup canned black beans, drained and rinsed, optional
corn chips, for serving
