Ingredients

• 6 Ripe Roma tomatoes
• 2 Jalapeño peppers
• 1 Small white onion
• 2 Garlic cloves
• 0.5 cups Cilantro leaves
• 2 tablespoons Fresh lime juice
• 1 teaspoon Kosher salt
• 0.5 teaspoons Ground cumin
• 0.5 teaspoons Granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil

Directions

Step 1

Start by washing the fresh produce thoroughly: Roma tomatoes, jalapeño peppers, onion, and cilantro.

Step 2

Dice the Roma tomatoes into small cubes and set them aside in a medium-sized mixing bowl.

Step 3

Finely chop the jalapeño peppers. For a spicier salsa, include the seeds; for a milder version, remove and discard the seeds before chopping.

Step 4

Peel and finely dice the white onion.

Step 5

Using a grater or knife, mince the garlic cloves into a paste-like consistency.

Step 6

Chop the cilantro leaves finely and set aside.

Step 7

In a small saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about one minute until fragrant. Do not let it burn.

Step 8

Transfer the garlic and oil mixture to the bowl of diced tomatoes. Add the chopped jalapeños, onion, and cilantro.

Step 9

Squeeze fresh lime juice into the bowl, ensuring there are no seeds.

Step 10

Season with kosher salt, ground cumin, and sugar. Stir everything together thoroughly to combine.

Step 11

Let the salsa sit for 10-15 minutes at room temperature to allow the flavors to meld together.

Step 12

Serve immediately with tortilla chips or as a topping for tacos, burritos, or grilled meats. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
