Ingredients
Scale
- 4 medium ripe tomatoes, diced (about 2 cups)
- 1 small onion, finely diced
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1–2 jalapeños, seeded and finely chopped (adjust for spice level)
- ¼ cup fresh cilantro, chopped
- Juice of 1 lime (about 2 tablespoons)
- ½ teaspoon ground cumin (optional)
- ½ teaspoon salt (or to taste)
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper (optional)
- 1 (14.5 oz) can diced tomatoes (optional, for extra sauciness)
Instructions
- Mix Ingredients:
In a large bowl, combine the diced fresh tomatoes, onion, garlic, jalapeños, and cilantro. - Add Seasonings:
Stir in the lime juice, cumin (if using), salt, and black pepper. Mix well. - Adjust Flavor:
Taste and adjust seasonings, adding more lime juice, salt, or jalapeños as desired. - Blend (Optional):
For a smoother salsa, blend half or all of the mixture in a food processor or blender to your desired consistency. - Chill and Serve:
Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. Serve with tortilla chips or as a topping for your favorite dishes.
Notes
- Tomatoes: For the best flavor, use ripe, in-season tomatoes. Roma or vine-ripened tomatoes work well.
- Add Heat: For extra spice, use serrano peppers instead of jalapeños or leave in the seeds.
- Storage: Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
