Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 whole Roma tomatoes
- 2 whole jalapeño peppers
- 1 medium red onion
- 0.5 cups cilantro
- 1 whole lime
- 2 whole garlic cloves
- 0.5 teaspoons ground cumin
- 1 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
Instructions
Wash all produce thoroughly and pat dry.
Roughly chop the Roma tomatoes, jalapeño peppers, red onion, and cilantro. Note: For a milder salsa, remove the seeds from the jalapeños before chopping.
Peel the garlic cloves and set aside.
Juice the lime into a small bowl, removing any seeds. Set the juice aside.
In a blender or food processor, combine the chopped tomatoes, jalapeños, red onion, cilantro, and garlic.
Add the lime juice, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper to the blender or food processor.
Pulse the mixture until it reaches your desired consistency. For a chunkier salsa, pulse lightly. For a smoother salsa, blend it longer.
Taste the salsa and adjust the seasoning with additional salt or pepper if needed.
Transfer the salsa to a serving bowl, cover, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Serve chilled with tortilla chips, tacos, or any Tex-Mex dish!
