Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 medium ripe tomatoes
- 1 small red onion
- 2 medium jalapeño
- 0.5 cup fresh cilantro
- 1 large lime
- 2 large garlic cloves
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Start by thoroughly washing the tomatoes, jalapeños, and cilantro under cold water.
Dice the tomatoes into small cubes and place them in a large mixing bowl. If you prefer a smoother salsa, you can remove the seeds before dicing.
Finely chop the red onion and add it to the bowl with the tomatoes.
Slice the jalapeños in half, remove the seeds for a milder salsa, or leave them for extra heat. Finely dice the jalapeños and add them to the bowl.
Mince the garlic cloves finely or use a garlic press, then add the garlic to the mixture.
Chop the fresh cilantro and add it to the bowl. Be sure only to use the leaves for the best flavor.
Roll the lime firmly on the countertop to release its juices, then cut it in half and squeeze the juice directly into the bowl.
Add the ground cumin, salt, and black pepper to the mixture.
Gently stir all the ingredients together with a spoon until well combined. Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary.
For the best flavor, let the salsa sit in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
Serve the salsa with tortilla chips or use it as a topping for your favorite Mexican dishes. Enjoy!
