Instructions
- Place onion and jalapeno in a blender or food processor first, then add remaining ingredients. Pulse until salsa is to your desired consistency. Taste test with a tortilla chip, and adjust as needed. Sometimes I add more lime juice or jalapeno or salt - but you can adjust however you want.
