Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large ripe tomatoes
- 1 medium onion
- 2 garlic cloves
- 1 small jalapeño
- 0.5 cup fresh cilantro
- 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons ground cumin (optional)
Instructions
Wash the tomatoes, onion, cilantro, jalapeño, and garlic cloves thoroughly.
Chop the tomatoes into quarters and dice the onion into small chunks for easier blending.
Slice the jalapeño in half lengthwise. Remove the seeds for less heat, or keep them for a spicier salsa.
Place the chopped tomatoes, onion, garlic cloves, jalapeño, and fresh cilantro into a blender or food processor.
Add the fresh lime juice, salt, and optional ground cumin to the blender.
Blend the ingredients on low to medium speed until you reach your desired salsa consistency (chunky or smooth). Avoid over-blending if you prefer a chunkier texture.
Taste the salsa and adjust seasoning with more salt or lime juice if needed.
Transfer the salsa to a serving bowl and let it sit for about 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Serve immediately with tortilla chips or use as a topping for tacos, grilled meats, or any dish of your choice.
