Directions

Step 1

Start by washing all your fresh produce, including the tomatoes, jalapeño, cilantro, and lime.

Step 2

Dice the Roma tomatoes into small pieces and place them in a medium-sized bowl.

Step 3

Finely chop the jalapeño, removing the seeds and membranes if you prefer less heat. Add the chopped jalapeño to the bowl.

Dice half of a medium red onion and add it to the bowl with the tomatoes and jalapeño.

Step 5

Chop the cilantro finely and measure out 1/4 cup. Add it to the salsa mixture.

Step 6

Peel and finely mince one clove of garlic. Add it to the bowl.

Step 7

Cut the lime in half and squeeze the juice of both halves into the salsa mixture, ensuring no seeds fall in.

Step 8

Add the salt, black pepper, and cumin to the bowl. Stir everything together until evenly combined.

Step 9

Taste the salsa and adjust the seasoning, lime juice, or spice level as desired.

Step 10

If you prefer a slightly richer flavor, drizzle in 1 teaspoon of olive oil and stir again.

Step 11

Serve immediately with tortilla chips or use as a topping for tacos, burritos, or grilled dishes.
