Ingredients

• 4 large ripe tomatoes
• 1 medium onion
• 2 garlic cloves
• 1 small jalapeño
• 0.5 cup fresh cilantro
• 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.25 teaspoons ground cumin (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Wash the tomatoes, onion, cilantro, jalapeño, and garlic cloves thoroughly.

Step 2

Chop the tomatoes into quarters and dice the onion into small chunks for easier blending.

Step 3

Slice the jalapeño in half lengthwise. Remove the seeds for less heat, or keep them for a spicier salsa.

Step 4

Place the chopped tomatoes, onion, garlic cloves, jalapeño, and fresh cilantro into a blender or food processor.

Step 5

Add the fresh lime juice, salt, and optional ground cumin to the blender.

Step 6

Blend the ingredients on low to medium speed until you reach your desired salsa consistency (chunky or smooth). Avoid over-blending if you prefer a chunkier texture.

Step 7

Taste the salsa and adjust seasoning with more salt or lime juice if needed.

Step 8

Transfer the salsa to a serving bowl and let it sit for about 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

Step 9

Serve immediately with tortilla chips or use as a topping for tacos, grilled meats, or any dish of your choice.
