Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 24 pieces store-bought phyllo cups
- 2 pieces Roma tomatoes
- 0.5 pieces red onion
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro
- 1 piece jalapeño
- 1 piece lime
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 0.5 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.5 cups shredded Monterey Jack cheese
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Dice the Roma tomatoes and red onion into small, even pieces and place them into a mixing bowl.
Remove the seeds and finely chop the jalapeño. Add it to the bowl.
Chop the fresh cilantro and add to the mixture.
Cut the lime in half and squeeze the juice into the salsa mixture.
Season with salt and black pepper. Mix everything thoroughly to combine.
Place the phyllo cups on a baking sheet.
Spoon about 1 teaspoon of the homemade salsa into each phyllo cup. Be careful not to overfill.
In a small bowl, combine the shredded cheddar cheese and Monterey Jack cheese.
Sprinkle a generous pinch of the cheese mixture on top of the salsa in each phyllo cup.
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the edges of the phyllo cups are slightly golden.
Remove from the oven and allow the salsa bites to cool for 2-3 minutes before serving.
Serve warm and enjoy!
