Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 whole Fresh jalapenos
- 1 cup Fresh cilantro
- 1 whole Lime
- 3 medium Tomatoes
- 2 whole Garlic cloves
- 1 small Red onion
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
Instructions
1. Wash all produce thoroughly under cool running water.
2. Remove the stems from the jalapenos. For less heat, remove the seeds and membranes; if you prefer more spice, leave them in.
3. Roughly chop the jalapenos, cilantro, and tomatoes, and transfer them to a blender or food processor.
4. Cut the red onion into smaller chunks and add to the blender. Peel the garlic cloves and add them as well.
5. Juice the lime, and pour the fresh lime juice into the blender along with the olive oil.
6. Add the ground cumin and salt to the blender for seasoning.
7. Blend the mixture on high speed until the salsa reaches your desired consistency. For a chunky salsa, pulse the blender a few times; for a smoother dip, blend longer.
8. Taste the salsa and adjust seasoning, adding more salt or lime juice if needed.
9. Transfer the salsa to a bowl and let it rest for at least 10 minutes to allow the flavors to combine.
10. Serve immediately with tortilla chips, or use as a topping for tacos, burritos, or grilled meats.
