Preparation

    Combine Ingredients

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the diced tomatoes, red onion, jalapeño, and chopped cilantro.

  2. 5

    Add Seasoning

  3. 6

    Mix Well

    Use a spoon to mix all the ingredients thoroughly until well combined.

Serving

  1. 7

    Taste and Adjust
