- 0.5 teaspoons ground cumin

Directions
Step 1
Preheat a skillet or frying pan over medium-high heat and add the olive oil.
Step 2
Wash and dry the tomatoes and jalapeño peppers. Peel the onion and cut it into quarters.

Step 6
Juice the lime and add the lime juice to the blender. Blend until the mixture is smooth or reaches your desired consistency.

Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Add more salt or lime juice as required.
Step 8
Transfer the salsa to a serving bowl and serve warm or allow it to cool to room temperature. Enjoy with tortilla chips or as a topping for tacos, eggs, or grilled meats.
