Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 5 pieces roma tomatoes
- 1 piece jalapeño
- 0.5 piece red onion
- 0.25 cup cilantro
- 1 piece garlic clove
- 1 piece lime
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon ground cumin
- 0.5 cup canned diced tomatoes (optional for added texture)
Instructions
Roughly chop the roma tomatoes and place them in a food processor or blender.
Slice the jalapeño in half, remove seeds and ribs for a milder salsa, and add it to the food processor.
Peel and roughly chop the red onion; add half of it to the processor.
Add the cilantro, peeled garlic clove, juice of one lime, salt, and ground cumin to the processor.
Pulse the mixture in the food processor a few times until the desired consistency is reached. For chunkier salsa, pulse less; for smoother salsa, pulse more.
If using canned diced tomatoes, stir them into the salsa after blending to enhance texture.
Taste test and adjust salt, lime juice, or jalapeño for desired flavor and heat level.
Transfer the salsa to a bowl and serve immediately with chips or refrigerate for 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
