Let's Salsa!

We go through a lot of salsa in this house. On eggs or in Mexican food, it is a healthy topping adding more vegetables to the diet. I set out to make my own but it needed to be good so the 4-year-old would eat it and it needed to be easy so I could easily pick up the ingredients with the weekly shopping trip and whip up a batch when we ran out. Would you be interested if I came up with a fire roasted salsa recipe that didn't require any fire roasting or barely even a knife? All that is needed is a can opener, bowl, spoon and a quart mason jar to keep it in. Just make sire you read the ingredients of those cans to make sure nothing unpronounceable is getting in your salsa.

Easy Squeezy Fire Roasted Salsa

  Two 14.5 cans fire-roasted diced tomatoes
  Two 4 oz cans fire roasted green chilies
  One 6 oz can tomato paste
  1 tsp ground cumin
  One minced canned chipotle pepper (one pepper not one can) or more to taste
  Juice of 1 lime

Mix everything in a bowl and transfer to a quart mason jar. Allow flavors to meld overnight in the fridge before serving. Not sure how long it will keep in the fridge but I would guess it would last a long time.
