I’ve never seen anything like this and it was delicious. Not very spicy, no chunk, almost a thin tomato soup consistency. I don’t think there was any peppers just mainly seasonings, onion chunks, and cilantro. Every time I make my own with fresh tomatoes it comes out a lot chunkier, like most of the images on this sub. I’ve never seen it be this smooth and I’d love to make it, any ideas?

Canned tomato sauce
I would add some onion and cilantro to a can of El Pato (yellow can)
> Every time I make my own with fresh tomatoes
I’d bet dollars to donuts these are blended whole canned tomatoes that are then mixed with fresh diced onion, cilantro, jalapeño, maybe a pinch of cumin, maybe a splash of lime juice, and salt and pepper.
These sauces given away free at most places, so you gotta think about how they’re keeping costs under control.
Tl;dr vitamix and a can of tomatoes. The cheap ones.
I actually wanted to post a salsa I made that looked just like this, but I ate it too fast and the picture I took sucked.
1. Canned diced fire roasted tomatoes
2. Finely diced onions 1/4 to 1/2 a white or yellow onion
3. Fine-coursely chopped cilantro, add till looks like how you want (i always have leftovers)
4. jar of pickled jalapenos
– Add tomatoes to a bowl you can put a knife in (I used tupperware)
– Use knife to chop tomatoes a little smaller since the diced is usually pretty big
– Chop the onions, jalapenos, and cilantro outside bowl
– mix em
– add some vinegar marinade from jalepenos to salsa
– salt to taste
– enjoy
Note: You can just blend it all and save chop time, I was lazy and didn’t want to dirty a bunch of stuff. Also the best way to control size of chopped ingredients is to do it yourself. I tend to overdo it with the food processor, same taste different texture.
Canned tomatoes (probably whole skinned), fresh onion and cilantro, fresh lime juice, salt. Maybe a touch of water.
Here’s a post that includes a recipe that’s for salsa that looks just like your picture:

I made this exact type of salsa recently and made a post about it with my recipe, turned out perfectly https://www.reddit.com/r/SalsaSnobs/s/x6glWPrNK6
Maybe add a lil cumin but other than that it should be what you’re looking for
