How to Make Restaurant Style Mexican Salsa

  1. Finely chop the onion, cilantro, and jalapeño (remove seeds for less heat).
  2. In a medium bowl, combine the chopped onion, cilantro, jalapeño, tomatoes, lime juice, and salt.
  3. Gently stir to combine all ingredients.
  4. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed, adding more jalapeño for extra heat, lime juice for tang, or salt to taste.
  5. For a smoother salsa, use an immersion blender or carefully pulse in a regular blender until desired consistency is reached (leave some texture for a chunkier salsa).
  6. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. Even better the next day!
