Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Prepare the Vegetables

    Wash the ripe tomatoes under cold water and chop them into small, uniform pieces. Place them in a mixing bowl.

  2. 2

    Chop the Onion

    Peel the red onion, halve it, and finely dice one half. Add the diced onion to the bowl with the tomatoes.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Cilantro

    Rinse the fresh cilantro thoroughly, shake off excess water, and finely chop the cilantro leaves. Add to the mixing bowl.

  4. 4

    Add Jalapeño

    Slice the jalapeño pepper in half and remove the seeds (if you prefer milder salsa). Finely chop the pepper and add it to the bowl.

  5. 5

    Season with Lime Juice and Spices

    Add the lime juice, minced garlic cloves, salt, and black pepper to the mixing bowl. Stir well to combine all ingredients.

  6. 6

    Taste and Adjust Seasoning

    Taste the salsa and adjust the seasoning if necessary, adding more salt or lime juice to suit your preference.

  7. 7

    Chill and Serve

    Cover the salsa with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow flavors to meld. Serve with tortilla chips.
