Ingredients

• 4 medium ripe tomatoes
• 0.5 medium red onion
• 1 whole jalapeño pepper
• 2 whole garlic cloves
• 0.25 cup fresh cilantro
• 1 whole lime
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon ground cumin
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Wash the tomatoes, jalapeño, and cilantro thoroughly under running water.

Step 2

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

Step 3

Finely chop the red onion and add it to the bowl with the tomatoes.

Step 4

Carefully remove the stem and seeds from the jalapeño pepper for a milder salsa, or leave some seeds in for extra heat. Finely mince the jalapeño and add it to the bowl.

Step 5

Peel and finely mince the garlic cloves, then add them to the mixture.

Step 6

Chop the cilantro leaves (avoiding large stems) and add them to the bowl.

Step 7

Roll the lime on a countertop to help release its juices, then cut it in half and squeeze the juice into the mixture, making sure to catch any seeds.

Step 8

Add the salt, ground cumin, and black pepper to the bowl.

Step 9

Stir the mixture thoroughly to combine all ingredients and flavors.

Step 10

Taste the salsa and adjust seasoning with additional salt, lime juice, or cumin as desired.

Step 11

Serve immediately with tortilla chips or as a condiment for your favorite dishes, or chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to let the flavors meld before serving.
