Ingredients

• 6 large Roma tomatoes
• 1 small Red onion
• 1 medium Jalapeño pepper
• 0.25 cup Cilantro leaves
• 2 tablespoons Lime juice
• 1 large Garlic clove
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 teaspoons Ground cumin
• 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Wash all produce thoroughly under cool running water.

Step 2

Dice the Roma tomatoes into small, even chunks. Add them to a medium-sized mixing bowl.

Step 3

Finely chop the red onion and jalapeño. If you prefer less heat, remove the seeds and membrane from the jalapeño before chopping. Add both to the bowl with the tomatoes.

Step 4

Finely mince the garlic clove and add it to the bowl.

Step 5

Chop the cilantro leaves and stir them into the salsa mixture.

Step 6

Squeeze fresh lime juice over the mixture, ensuring no seeds fall into the bowl.

Step 7

Sprinkle the salt, ground cumin, and black pepper over the salsa. Mix everything gently but thoroughly with a spoon.

Step 8

Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. For added heat, chop and add another jalapeño or a pinch of red pepper flake.

Step 9

Refrigerate the salsa for at least 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld, or serve immediately with tortilla chips or as a topping for your favorite dishes.
