How to Make Mexican Salsa

  1. Finely chop the onion, tomatoes, cilantro, and jalapeños. (Remove seeds and membranes from jalapeños for less heat).
  2. In a medium bowl, combine the chopped onion, tomatoes, cilantro, jalapeños, lime juice, and salt.
  3. Gently mix all ingredients until well combined.
  4. Let the salsa sit for at least 30 minutes (or up to 3 hours) to allow the flavors to meld. This step is key for the best taste!
  5. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed, adding more lime juice, salt, or jalapeños to your liking.
  6. Serve immediately with your favorite tacos, tortilla chips, or as a topping for other dishes.
