How to Make Anita's Salsa Picante
- Roughly chop 1/2 medium white onion.
- Add the chopped onion to a food processor. Pulse 5-6 times.
- Add 2 lbs ripe tomatoes, 1 jalapeño pepper (seeded and minced for less heat, or whole for extra fire!), 1/4 cup chopped cilantro, and 2 tablespoons lime juice to the food processor.
- Pulse again 5-6 times until coarsely chopped. Be careful not to over-process; you want a chunky salsa.
- Taste and season with 1 teaspoon ground cumin, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Adjust spices to your preference.
- If desired, transfer the salsa to a fine-mesh sieve and gently press to remove excess liquid. This step enhances the flavor concentration.
- Serve immediately with tortilla chips, tacos, burritos, or your favorite Mexican dish.
