Ingredients
- 6 whole Roma tomatoes
- 0.5 medium White onion
- 1 whole Jalapeño pepper
- 0.25 cup Fresh cilantro
- 1 whole Garlic clove
- 2 tablespoons Fresh lime juice
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 cup Canned fire-roasted tomatoes (optional for a smokier flavor)
Directions
Step 1
Wash the Roma tomatoes, jalapeño, and cilantro thoroughly under running water.
Step 2
Roughly chop the Roma tomatoes, onion, jalapeño (remove seeds for less spice, if desired), and cilantro.
Step 3
Peel the garlic clove and mince it finely or use a garlic press for easier handling.
Step 4
In a food processor or blender, add the tomatoes, onion, jalapeño, cilantro, garlic, lime juice, salt, and cumin.
Step 5
If you want a smokier flavor, include the canned fire-roasted tomatoes in the blender as well.
Step 6
Blend the mixture until it reaches your desired consistency—pulse for a chunky salsa or blend longer for a smoother texture.
Step 7
Taste the salsa and adjust seasoning if needed (add more salt, lime juice, or jalapeño for heat).
Step 8
Transfer the salsa to a bowl, cover, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Step 9
Serve with tortilla chips, tacos, or as a condiment for grilled meats or vegetables.
