Homemade Salsa

I got this recipe from Jocelyn Barnes. It's my favorite!

Easy rating: *cake walk
Prep Time: 10 min (unless you want to chop it by hand)
Cook time: none
Serves: a whole ton, but you can freeze in smaller portions

Ingredients:

1 Bell Pepper
2 cans diced tomatoes (or fresh if you'd like)
1 Handful Cilantro (add or subtract to taste)
6-8 Green Onions
2 1/2-3 Jalepenos (add or subtract to taste)
1 tsp garlic powder (I usually add a little more)
1tsp salt
1/4 tsp cumin

Take out all of the insides of the bell pepper, and tear the cilantro off of the stalk. If you want it less hot, take out the seeds and insides of the jalepenos (you may want gloves to touch them. I always burn my hands otherwise). Throw everything but the cans of tomatoes in a good chopper, blender, whatever (depending on how chunky you want it). Add it to the tomatoes. Serve with chips, or as enchilada sauce, or on nachos or anything it sounds good for! It even works well to put on white rice to spice things up.
