- Mix all ingredients thoroughly until well combined.
- Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. Add more lime juice for extra tanginess or jalapeño for extra spice.
- (Optional) For canning: Ladle the salsa into sterilized canning jars, leaving 1/2 inch headspace. Process according to your preferred canning instructions for salsa (boiling water bath method is recommended).
- Serve immediately with tortilla chips or use as a topping for your favorite dishes. Enjoy!
