Difficulty: Beginner

Servings: 6

Best Season: Suitable throughout the year

Ingredients

4 tomatoes (large)
1/2 red onion
2 jalapeños (seeds & membranes removed; add seeds if you like more heat)
1 bunch cilantro (1 small bunch; keep stems for more flavor!)
2 tsp garlic (fresh, minced)
1 lime (zest & juice)
1 tsp salt (or to taste)
1/2 tsp pepper (or to taste)

Instructions

1
Roughly chop the tomatoes, onion, and jalapeños into large chunks so they can easily fit into your food processor.
2
Add all the ingredients—tomatoes, onion, jalapeños, cilantro, garlic, lime zest and juice, salt, and pepper—to the food processor such as KitchenAid. I use a 7 cup sized one.
3
Pulse until everything is fully combined and the salsa reaches your desired texture.
4
Taste and adjust the seasoning. Feel free to add more salt, lime juice, or even an extra jalapeño if you want to turn up the heat!
5
Serve with your favorite tortilla chips and enjoy! I love MASA & Siete tortilla chips.
