Clean the button mushrooms with a damp cloth and slice them into small pieces.
Dice the cherry tomatoes, red onion, and jalapeño into small, uniform pieces.
Finely chop the cilantro and mince the garlic cloves.
Heat the olive oil in a medium-sized skillet over medium heat.
Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet and sauté for 5-7 minutes, until they release their moisture and turn golden brown.
Add the minced garlic, cumin powder, and chili powder to the skillet. Stir and cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Remove the skillet from heat and let the mushroom mixture cool slightly.
In a mixing bowl, combine the diced tomatoes, red onion, jalapeño, and sautéed mushrooms.
Add the lime juice, chopped cilantro, salt, and black pepper to the mixture. Stir everything together until well combined.
Taste and adjust seasoning with more salt, pepper, or lime juice if needed.
Serve immediately as a dip, topping, or side dish, or refrigerate for 30 minutes to let the flavors meld before serving.
