How to Make Salsa Perfecto

  1. Finely chop the onion, cilantro, and jalapeño. Remove seeds from jalapeño for less heat.
  2. In a large saucepan, combine the tomatoes, garlic, and cumin. Cook over medium heat for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until tomatoes soften.
  3. Transfer the cooked tomatoes to a blender or food processor. Add the chopped onion, cilantro, jalapeño, lime juice, and salt. Blend until desired consistency is reached (chunky or smooth).
  4. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. Add more lime juice for extra tang or salt for more depth.
  5. Serve immediately or chill for later. Enjoy!
  6. For an even richer flavor, consider roasting the tomatoes before cooking.
