Instant Pot Salsa
Instant Pot salsa is more like roasted tomato salsa. We roast the tomato and then cook it with the other ingredients in Instant Pot. It gives a yummy flavor to the salsa. Plus it's real quick.
Ingredients
Cherry Tomatoes - They are juicy and qualify well for salsa.Onion - Use white onions or red onions. But red onions are a bit stronger and hence prefer white onions for salsa.
Jalapeno - If you prefer it less spicy de seed and then use.
Spice powders - I am using cumin powder, pepper powder, and salt. They add a nice flavor to the salsa.
Lemon juice - Enhances the taste.
Cilantro - Gives a fresh flavor to the salsa.
