Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 whole Roma tomatoes
- 1 whole Jalapeño pepper
- 0.5 medium Red onion
- 0.5 cup Cilantro
- 1 clove Garlic
- 2 tablespoons Lime juice
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Ground cumin (optional)
Instructions
Wash the Roma tomatoes, jalapeño pepper, and cilantro under cold water to ensure they’re clean.
Dice the Roma tomatoes into small chunks and place them in a medium bowl.
Finely chop the jalapeño pepper, removing seeds if a milder salsa is desired, and add it to the bowl with the tomatoes.
Dice the red onion finely and add it to the bowl.
Chop the cilantro leaves and measure out half a cup. Add to the mixture in the bowl.
Peel and finely mince the garlic clove, then add it to the other ingredients.
Squeeze fresh lime juice over the mixture—about two tablespoons—and sprinkle in the salt and cumin (if using).
Mix all the ingredients together thoroughly using a spoon or spatula.
Taste the salsa and adjust salt, lime juice, or jalapeño for desired flavor and spice level.
Serve immediately with tortilla chips, tacos, or as a topping for grilled meats. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
