- 2 cans Rotel diced tomatoes and green chilies
- ¼ cup chopped onion
- 1 clove garlic

- Mix Everything: Pour the blended mixture into a bowl. Stir in the remaining can of Rotel, chopped onion, minced garlic, sliced jalapeño, and sugar. Mix well.
- Taste and Adjust: Sample the salsa and tweak it to your liking—add more sugar for balance or extra jalapeño for heat.
- Chill and Serve: Refrigerate for 30 minutes, then enjoy with tortilla chips, tacos, or grilled meats.
