- 4 large Ripe tomatoes diced
- 1 small Red onion finely chopped
- 1 Jalapeño seeded and minced
- ¼ cup Fresh cilantro chopped
- 2 tablespoons Lime juice
- 2 cloves Garlic minced
- ½ teaspoon Salt
- ¼ teaspoon Ground black pepper
Instructions
Step 1 – Prepare the Ingredients
- Rinse all your vegetables under cold water.
- Dice the tomatoes, making sure to remove the seeds.
- Finely chop the red onion and cilantro.
- Mince the garlic and jalapeño. Remember, if you want a milder salsa, completely remove the seeds from the jalapeño.
- Note: Using fresh ingredients is key to a salsa that truly tastes like it’s straight from the border!
Step 2 – Mix Your Salsa
- In a mixing bowl, combine the diced tomatoes, chopped onions, minced jalapeño, garlic, and cilantro.
- Add the lime juice, salt, and black pepper.
- Stir everything together until well combined. Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary.
- Warning: When handling jalapeños, it’s a good idea to wear gloves to avoid any irritation.
Step 3 – Let It Marinate
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let the salsa sit in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes. This allows the flavors to meld together beautifully.
- Note: The longer the salsa sits, the more developed the flavors will be.
Notes
- If you prefer a smoother salsa, give it a quick pulse in a blender or food processor.
- For an extra kick, add a pinch of cumin or a splash of hot sauce.
