Ingredients

• 4 whole Roma tomatoes
• 2 whole jalapeño peppers
• 1 whole small red onion
• 2 whole garlic cloves
• 1 cup fresh cilantro leaves
• 1 whole lime
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.5 teaspoons ground cumin

Directions

Step 1

Roughly chop the Roma tomatoes, jalapeño peppers, and red onion into smaller pieces for easier blending.

Step 2

Peel the garlic cloves and set them aside.

Step 3

Add the chopped tomatoes, jalapeños, red onion, garlic, and cilantro leaves to a food processor or blender.

Step 4

Cut the lime in half and squeeze its juice into the mixture, being careful to avoid adding seeds.

Step 5

Sprinkle in the salt and ground cumin for seasoning.

Step 6

Pulse the ingredients in the food processor or blender until desired consistency is reached. For a chunkier salsa, use fewer pulses; for a smoother salsa, blend more thoroughly.

Step 7

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

Step 8

Transfer the salsa to a serving bowl and let it rest for 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.

Step 9

Serve immediately with tortilla chips or as a topping for tacos, burritos, or grilled meats.
