5 Roma tomatoes
½ red onion
1 jalapeno pepper
1 lime juiced
2 tbsp cilantro chopped
¼ salt or to taste,
¼ black pepper or to taste

Dice your tomatoes into bite sized pieces and add to a large bowl.

Squeeze in your lime juice and season well with salt and pepper. Mix well and then let refrigerate for 30 minutes or so. Then toss well and serve up with tortilla chips, top tacos, quesadillas, or more.

Notes

Texture - This is a very chunky salsa. You are more than welcome to add items to a food processor to make a smoother texture. Or you can chop it smaller for a different texture.

Jalapeno - Leave some of the seeds for a spicy salsa. Or remove the seeds and the white membrane to create a mild salsa.

Onion - If you don't have red onion you can easily swap with a white or yellow onion.

Salt and Pepper - Season with salt and pepper to taste. You also can use a salt substitute if you need.
