Ingredients
- 6 Roma tomato diced (See Note 1, large
- 1/4 cup lime juice divided (See Note 2)
- 1 white onion diced (See Note 3, medium
- 1 jalapeño minced (See Note 4, or Serrano chile; large
- 1/4 cup cilantro chopped, leaves only
- 1 tsp kosher salt
- 1/8 tsp black pepper
Instructions
- In a small bowl mix together the chopped onion and half the lime juice. Toss to coat and set aside for 15 minutes.
- Add all the other ingredients to a bowl along with the drained onion and remaining 1/8 cup lime juice. Combine, tossing to coat and season to taste. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes. Adjust seasoning if needed before serving.
- Serve with tortilla chips or spoon over any dish you like as a garnish.
Notes
- About 3 cups of chopped Roma tomatoes (also known as Plum Tomatoes). Feel free to use whatever tomato variety you prefer as long as they are RIPE!
- I use 2-3 large limes or if you can find them, the small juicy Mexican limes or Key Lime juice.
- You want about 3/4 cup, diced small.
- Be careful cutting chiles and wash your hands after. Cut the stems off and remove and discard the seeds. Cut into long strips, stack together and cut crosswise into small dice.
