Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Roma tomatoes
- 0.5 pieces Red onion
- 1 piece Jalapeño pepper
- 0.25 cups Cilantro
- 2 tablespoons Lime juice
- 1 tablespoon Tequila
- 1 piece Garlic clove
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Ground cumin
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
Instructions
Start by thoroughly washing the Roma tomatoes, red onion, jalapeño pepper, and cilantro.
Dice the Roma tomatoes into small, evenly sized chunks and transfer them to a large mixing bowl.
Finely chop half a red onion and add it to the bowl with the tomatoes.
Slice the jalapeño in half, remove the seeds for a milder salsa (or keep them if you like more heat), and finely dice the pepper. Add it to the bowl.
Chop the cilantro leaves (discard the stems) until you have about 1/4 cup, then add it to the mixture.
Mince one garlic clove and stir it into the bowl.
Add 2 tablespoons of freshly squeezed lime juice and 1 tablespoon of tequila to the salsa mixture for a tangy and spiked kick.
Season the salsa by adding 1/2 teaspoon of salt, 1/4 teaspoon of ground cumin, and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper. Stir thoroughly to combine all the flavors.
Taste the salsa and adjust seasoning or lime juice to your preference, if needed.
Refrigerate the salsa for at least 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Serve chilled with tortilla chips, tacos, or grilled meats. Enjoy responsibly!
