Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 whole Roma tomatoes
- 2 whole jalapeño peppers
- 1 whole small red onion
- 2 whole garlic cloves
- 1 cup fresh cilantro leaves
- 1 whole lime
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 teaspoons ground cumin
Instructions
Roughly chop the Roma tomatoes, jalapeño peppers, and red onion into smaller pieces for easier blending.
Peel the garlic cloves and set them aside.
Add the chopped tomatoes, jalapeños, red onion, garlic, and cilantro leaves to a food processor or blender.
Cut the lime in half and squeeze its juice into the mixture, being careful to avoid adding seeds.
Sprinkle in the salt and ground cumin for seasoning.
Pulse the ingredients in the food processor or blender until desired consistency is reached. For a chunkier salsa, use fewer pulses; for a smoother salsa, blend more thoroughly.
Taste the salsa and adjust seasoning with additional salt or lime juice if needed.
Transfer the salsa to a serving bowl and let it rest for 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Serve immediately with tortilla chips or as a topping for tacos, burritos, or grilled meats.
