Los Barrios Salsa
Recipe from: Los Barrios Family Cookbook

This salsa is great with Tortilla Chips. The only problem is that it quickly becomes habit-forming - you just can’t stop eating it. We serve a bowl of this salsa and a basket of warm tortilla chips to every table in our restaurant, and people always ask for more. I have even seen customers eating it with a spoon, like soup. It goes with everything, from breakfast to dinner, and it accompanies every meal at Los Barrios. It will keep for up to 4 days in the refrigerator and can be frozen for up to 2 months.

Makes 4 cups

1 (16-ounce) can whole tomatoes
1 (4-ounce) can jalapeno chiles
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper

Combine the tomatoes, chiles, garlic powder, salt, and pepper in a blender and blend to a chunky puree; do not blend until smooth. Transfer to a serving bowl.

Variation:
You can make this hotter by increasing the amount of chiles. Stir this salsa into individual servings of soup, or use it to top quesadillas or as an accompaniment to fajitas.
