I got this recipe from a friend and have been hooked ever since.  What's even better is that this salsa meets all of the firehouse qualifications: Quick (5 Mins), Easy (Blender does most of the work), Plenty ( 80+ ounces), and Cheap ($7 - $10 depending where you shop).

What you will need:

• Blender
• Big bowl or container (This recipe makes a minimum 80+ ounces)
• 1 - 28oz can whole peeled tomatoes
• 1 - 15oz can stewed tomatoes [U]mexican style[/U]
• 2 - 9oz cans of Herdez salsa verde (Found in the international section of the grocery store)
• 1 - 4oz can of diced jalepeno (not pickled)
• 1 - medium white onion cut into quarters
• 1 - bunch of cilantro
• 1 - medium lemon

Directions

Round 1
Put 2 cans of Herdez salsa verde, 1 can stewed tomatoes, 1 can diced jalapeno, 1/2 white onion, and 1/2 bunch of cilantro in blender.  Blend for 20 - 30 seconds or until smooth.  Pour into your big bowl or container.

Round 2
Put 1 can whole peeled tomatoes, remainder of onion, and remainder of cilantro into blender. Blend for 20 - 30 seconds or until smooth.  Pour into your big bowl or container.

Round 3
Squeeze lemon into bowl and stir.  

Should last a week in the refrigerator (If it doesn't get eaten first).
