Servings: 6 servings
Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups tomatoes seeded and chopped
- ¼ cup chopped onion
- 1 serrano pepper or jalapeno pepper seeded and chopped
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 2 tablespoons cilantro chopped
- Juice of 1 lime
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Combine all the ingredients in a bowl.
- Serve with tortilla chips or your favorite Mexican foods.
Notes
- I prefer to use Roma or plum tomatoes for this recipe.
- Before using them in the recipe, salt the tomatoes and place them in a fine sieve to drain for about 20-25 minutes to avoid watery sauce. This will also help improve their texture and make the tomatoes taste better.
- If you prefer, you can also remove the seeds from the tomatoes.
