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
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
Prepare the Cilantro
Rinse the fresh cilantro thoroughly, shake off excess water, and finely chop the cilantro leaves. Add to the mixing bowl.
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
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
Taste and Adjust Seasoning
Taste the salsa and adjust the seasoning if necessary, adding more salt or lime juice to suit your preference.
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.
