How to Make Salsa Mexicana
- Finely chop 1 lb ripe Roma tomatoes, 1/2 medium white onion, 1 jalapeño pepper (seeded and minced for less heat, or leave seeds in for extra spice), and 1/2 cup of fresh cilantro.
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine the chopped tomatoes, onion, jalapeño, and cilantro.
- Add 1/4 cup lime juice, 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1 teaspoon ground cumin, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
- Gently stir all ingredients until thoroughly combined.
- Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Add a teaspoon of sugar at a time if the tomatoes are particularly acidic, but be careful not to overpower the other flavors.
- Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. This step is crucial for the best taste!
- Serve chilled with tortilla chips, tacos, grilled chicken, or your favorite Mexican dishes. Enjoy!
