Dawn's Makes Enough for Your Super Bowl Party Salsa

I have been trying for years to formulate a great tasting "fresh" salsa. This is it. If you like a milder salsa, start out with one jalapeno and work your way up the heat scale.

Directions

1. Process stewed tomatoes, one can Rotel, garlic, onion, jalapenos, and cilantro until it is a smooth (I used a stick blender so it remained a little chunkier than in a food processor or blender).
2. Add remaining two cans of Rotel, the green chiles, green onions, cumin, oregano, lemon and lime juices. Mix well.
3. Add salt to taste.
4. Refrigerate or freeze.
