Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large Roma tomatoes
- 0.5 medium red onion
- 1 small jalapeño
- 1 clove garlic
- 0.5 cup cilantro
- 1 medium lime
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon ground cumin
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Start by washing all the fresh produce thoroughly under cold water to remove any dirt or residue.
Dice the Roma tomatoes into small pieces and add them to a mixing bowl.
Finely chop the red onion and add it to the bowl with the tomatoes.
Carefully cut the jalapeño in half, scoop out the seeds (optional, for less heat), and finely dice the pepper. Add to the bowl.
Mince the garlic clove using a knife or garlic press and stir it into the mixture.
Chop the cilantro leaves and add them to the bowl, discarding thick stems.
Cut the lime in half and squeeze the juice over the salsa mixture. Make sure to catch any seeds during the process.
Season with salt, ground cumin, and black pepper. Start with the quantities listed, then adjust to taste as needed.
Gently stir all ingredients until well combined and let the salsa sit for 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Serve immediately with tortilla chips, or use as a topping for tacos, burritos, or grilled meats. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
