Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 medium ripe tomatoes
- 1 medium white onion
- 2 medium jalapeño peppers
- 0.5 cup fresh cilantro
- 1 large lime
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 garlic cloves
Instructions
Rinse the tomatoes under cold water. Cut them into quarters and remove the cores.
Peel and roughly chop the white onion.
Rinse the jalapeño peppers, then slice them in half lengthwise. Remove the seeds and membranes for a milder salsa, or leave them in for more heat.
Peel the garlic cloves.
Combine the tomatoes, onion, jalapeños, and garlic in a blender or food processor. Pulse a few times until you achieve a chunky consistency. Do not overprocess as you want some texture.
Transfer the mixture to a bowl.
Chop the fresh cilantro finely and add it to the tomato mixture.
Juice the lime and pour the lime juice into the bowl.
Sprinkle in the salt and black pepper. Stir well to combine all the ingredients.
Taste the salsa and adjust salt, pepper, or lime according to your preference.
Let the salsa rest for about 10 minutes to allow the flavors to blend.
Serve immediately as a dip with tortilla chips or as a topping for tacos, grilled meats, or any dish you prefer.
