Ingredients

  • 6-8 medium sized plum tomatoes
  • 1 medium sized sweet onion
  • 3-6 medium sized jalapeno peppers 3 for milder, 6 for pretty darned hot
  • juice from 1 lime
  • 1 cup chopped fresh cilantro
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. Either cut the tomatoes, onion, and jalapenos into a fine to medium dice, or chop each into rough one inch pieces and chop separately in food processor to a fine to medium dice. If you want to take some of the heat out of the jalapenos first, remove the seeds and inner membranes before dicing.
  2. Place together in a large bowl and mix. Allow to steep together for 15 minutes.
  3. Next, add the lime juice, cilantro, and salt and mix again.
  4. Chill in the refrigerator for several hours, at least two, prior to serving. Can be made the day before serving as well.
  5. Use as a dip for chips or veggies, or as a topping for chicken or tacos.
