Instructions
Rinse and pat dry the Roma tomatoes, jalapeño pepper, and cilantro.

Peel and finely dice half of the red onion, then add it to the bowl.
Mince the garlic clove and add it to the mixture.
Roughly chop the cilantro leaves and stir them into the salsa.
Cut the lime in half and squeeze its juice over the mixture, ensuring you catch any seeds.
Sprinkle in the salt, ground cumin, and black pepper. Stir the salsa thoroughly to combine all the flavors.
