The Best Instant Pot Salsa Recipe

The Best Instant Pot Salsa Recipe

I don’t know about y’all, but I really love some good chips and salsa. Maybe it’s a Texan thing, but a good chips and salsa combination is the perfect appetizer to any meal – and that’s something that we don’t take lightly. From the consistency and spice of the salsa to the thickness and saltiness of the chips, as my Texan friends can attest, we are very particular.

As you probably remember from this summer’s garden, we dedicated an entire raised garden bed to salsa ingredients. Our ‘Salsa Bed’ flourished so much (and so quickly!) that our produce drawer was overflowing. We ended up using the ingredients for other dishes as well. But throughout the summer season, we were able to make about 6 large batches of salsa altogether – 3 tomato based salsas and 3 tomatillo based salsas. After tinkering with our recipe, I think I finally have the PERFECT recipe for my fellow chips and salsa lovers. It’s even amazing with salted plantain chips (personal trainer approved!) and on top of salads for a low-calorie dressing. With each batch producing 4-5 jars, I’m so excited that we might have enough to last us until we plant our spring garden next year.

Instant Pot Salsa

Today on the blog, I can’t wait to share with you the best Instant Pot Salsa Recipe. Not only is it so easy that you can do it on a weeknight after work, but it will make you never want to buy salsa from the store again. (I promise you can taste the difference when it’s fresh!) Meanwhile, if you’ve got an abundance of tomatoes left over from your summer garden and you don’t want them to go bad, you are going to want to pin this recipe for later!

Ingredients:

  • 1 large onion
  • 2 large green bell peppers
  • 8 jalapeños –  You can deseed if you’d like. I leave the seeds in for extra heat!
  • approximately 15 tomatoes – depending on the size of the tomatoes ; I typically just fill up to the ‘P.C. 2/3’ line in my Instant Pot. I personally love Roma tomatoes.
  • 8-10 cloves of garlic – If you’re one of those people who increases the garlic on recipes because you love it, no need. I already did that for you. 
  • 1/2 cup of vinegar
  • 1 tbsp of sugar
  • 1 tbsp of salt
  • juice of 1 lime
  • 1 – 6oz can of tomato paste – This is used to thicken the salsa slightly. You can leave this out for a more ‘restaurant salsa’ style consistency. 
  • up to 1/2 bunch of cilantro leaves torn up
If you’d like it extra hot and spicy, you can sub 4 jalapeños for 5 habaneros

Instructions:

  1. Chop up the onion, bell pepper, jalapeños, tomatoes, and garlic. While you don’t need to chop them super small, I like to chop /dice them up into small bite size pieces so they cook down better evenly and it’s easier to blend later.
  2. Add your vegetables, garlic, vinegar, sugar, and salt to your instant pot. Once everything is added, I like to give it a good stir to mix everything together.
  3. Pressure cook on Manual HIGH for 20 minutes. Safely quick release the pressure. (Note: There will be some spitting with the steam.) Once the pressure has been released and the pin has dropped, open your Instant Pot lid.
  4. Stir in the lime juice, tomato paste, and cilantro.
  5. Take an immersion blender like this one (affiliate link), and blend the salsa while still in the Instant Pot.
  6. Ladle the salsa into sanitized mason jars. Let the salsa cool to room temperature to store in the fridge. If you’d like to properly seal the mason jars to allow your salsa to sit in the pantry (longer shelf life!), you can boil the filled jars for 10 to 12 minutes and set them out to cool until the lids pop. (It may take a few hours for them to all pop completely.)

Substitutions for Tomatillo Salsa:

This recipe is also great if you want to make tomatillo salsa! To make tomatillo salsa in your Instant Pot, you’d just make the following minor changes to the above recipe.

  • Instead of 8 jalapeños, use 8 serranos.
  • Instead of tomatoes, use approximately 25 tomatillos. (I typically just fill up to the ‘P.C. 2/3’ line in my Instant Pot.)
  • Leave out the tomato paste. (Note that this will also make it have more of a ‘restaurant style’ consistency.)

Momma went shopping… and I spent a lot more than Momma went shopping… and I spent a lot more than $873. (But don’t tell Rob that part. 💁🏼‍♀️)

The furniture for the study finally came in, and I was SO excited to see how perfect everything looks in here. Hands down my favorite room in the house. 😍👏🏼 Real talk: I can’t wait to curl up in here with a cup of coffee and a book while my kids destroy the house around me. 🫠🤷🏼‍♀️😂 #ahostinghome

Spring gardening is right around the corner, and I Spring gardening is right around the corner, and I’m already starting to get ours prepped thanks to @walmart Lawn and Garden! #AD With a newborn and a toddler, running errands can be quite the task. But thanks to #WalmartLawnandGarden, I’ve been able to get everything I need to kickstart our garden this year in one place — from the convenience of snuggling my babies on my couch with Walmart.com and the app! The time it saved me from running all over town, I got to spend making core memories with John as we taught him how to start his very first set of seeds in the @jiffygroup seed starting tray. 

Here’s a look at what we got to kickstart our garden this year:
- The @jiffygroup Seed Starting Greenhouse Kit: to grow our own seedlings and get a head start on the season by starting them indoors! 
- The  @ferrymorseseed Seed Starting Heat Mat: to give our seeds the best chance possible to promote germination and improve transplant results 
- Ferry Morse Seeds (flowers, tomatoes, and peppers!) 
- @pennington Rejuvenate Potting Mix and Garden Soil: to give our seedlings the nutrients they need once transplanted into our garden 
- Pennington Rejuvenate Tomato Plant Food
- @scottslawn Landscaping Fabric: to keep our garden clean and free of pesky weeds
- The @flexonhose Flextreme Advanced 100ft Hose: to keep it all watered without fighting kinks as we move easily around our raised garden beds

Add this kit to your cart now ➡️ https://click2cart.com/59600bc

Get a jumpstart on your spring and summer garden this year by shopping everything you need at Walmart, in-store or online at Walmart.com. And stay tuned to see how our garden comes together and grows this year!

But really, I’ve been using the same battery charge for a couple weeks now on vacuuming the downstairs of our house — and with two kids and two dogs, I do a quick vacuum every single day (sometimes multiple times a day!) The best part? Can rotate and charge with all our other Dewalt tool batteries.

January 20th, 2023 💛

James was born last Friday morning, and spent the first 5 days in the NICU for some breathing issues and fluid in his lungs. While those days were extremely rough, trying, and brought back a lot of emotions from Layne’s birth — God is so good, and my heart is just overwhelmed by His faithfulness. My favorite moment in life thus far was surprising John before bedtime the night we were finally discharged to come home. I’ll never forget the look on his face when I walked through that door. Thank you, Jesus, for my babies. 🦋💛 #ahostinghome

✨ STUDY REVEAL ✨ I got a lot of nervous respon ✨ STUDY REVEAL ✨ I got a lot of nervous responses when I said I wanted to design an all black formal study right off my entryway, but I’m completely obsessed with every detail of this space. Rob has always wanted a study, so my goal with this space when it’s finished is to have almost like a moody, swanky cigar lounge feel. When we moved into this house this spring, I told Rob I was done playing it “safe for resale” with designing projects. Here’s to more of doing whatever the heck I want design wise in 2023! 👏🏼✨ Next up: let’s get this space styled and furnished! #ahostinghome

“And with that, the 2022 season comes to an end. “And with that, the 2022 season comes to an end.” ✨🎄 When do you take your Christmas decor down? The Christmas decor got put away earlier this week, and the house always feels so empty every year when it gets taken down! I was going to wait till next week to take it down, but with only 3 weeks left until baby arrives I’m finding myself in total nesting mode right now. Behind the scenes we’ve been putting finishing touches on the study while Rob was off work for Christmas, so I’ll be sharing all the photos and updates on that to the feed soon. In the meantime, who wants to come organize closets and baby stuff with me?! 😜 #ahostinghome
