Ingredients

• 5 large ripe tomatoes
• 1 medium jalapeño pepper
• 0.5 large red onion
• 0.5 cup cilantro leaves
• 1 large lime
• 2 medium garlic cloves
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Dice the large ripe tomatoes into small, consistent cubes, and transfer them into a large mixing bowl.

Step 3

Cut the jalapeño in half and remove the seeds and membrane for a milder salsa. Finely chop the jalapeño and add it to the bowl. If you prefer more heat, keep some of the seeds.

Step 4

Finely chop half of a large red onion, and add it to the bowl.

Step 5

Chop the cilantro leaves, and measure out half a cup. Stir them into the mixture in the bowl.

Step 6

Peel the garlic cloves and mince them finely before adding them to the mixture.

Step 7

Roll the large lime on the countertop to maximize juice extraction. Cut it in half and squeeze the juice into the salsa ingredients.

Step 8

Add 1 teaspoon of salt and 0.5 teaspoon of ground black pepper to the bowl.

Step 9

Gently mix all the ingredients in the bowl until they are evenly combined.

Step 10

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

Step 11

Allow the salsa to sit for at least 15 minutes to let the flavors meld before serving.

Step 12

Serve the house salsa with tortilla chips, on tacos, or as a topping on grilled meats.
