Number Of Ingredients 10

Ingredients

1 1/2 pounds tomatoes (vine-ripe, roma or heirloom), cored and quartered -- I like Roma best for texture
1/2 medium yellow onion, roughly chopped
1 green onion, ends trimmed
2-3 cloves of garlic, finely chopped
2 jalapeños (with seeds If you like heat!), diced
1 heaping handful of cilantro (about 1/2 cup)
Half a lime, juiced
Pinch of cumin
Pinch of sugar
Salt, to taste

Steps:

Add all ingredients to a blender or food processor and pulse until it gets to the desired consistency; you can make it chunky or smooth! I like a little bit of texture so I go with slightly chunky. Add salt to taste. Chill salsa for 1-2 hours or overnight to let flavors come together. Serve with chips, on nachos, on chili, or anything you like!

Time 15m

Number Of Ingredients 8

Ingredients

2 to 3 medium-sized fresh tomatoes (1 to 1 1/2 pounds), stems removed
1/2 red onion
2 serrano or 1 jalapeño pepper, stems, ribs, and seeds removed (less or more to taste)
Juice of 1 lime
1/2 cup chopped cilantro
Salt and pepper to taste
Pinch dried oregano (crumble in your fingers before adding), or more to taste
Pinch ground cumin, or more to taste

Steps:

Prep the ingredients: Roughly chop the tomatoes, chili peppers, and onions. Be careful while handling the chili peppers. Use a plastic baggie or disposable gloves to handle them, or wash your hands thoroughly with soap and hot water after handling and avoid touching your eyes for several hours. Set aside some of the seeds from the peppers. If the salsa isn't hot enough, you can add a few for more heat.
Make the salsa: Place all of the ingredients in the bowl of a food processor fitted with the blade. Pulse only a few times, just enough to finely dice the ingredients and not enough to purée. If you don't have a food processor, you can finely dice by hand.
Adjust seasonings: Place in a serving bowl. Add salt and pepper to taste. If the chilis make the salsa too hot, add some more chopped tomato. If it's not hot enough, carefully add a few of the seeds from the chilis, or add a little more ground cumin. If you like, let the salsa sit for an hour (room temperature or chilled) for the flavors to combine.
Serve: Serve with chips, tortillas, tacos, burritos, tostadas, quesadillas , or pinto or black beans. The salsa will keep refrigerated for up to 5 days.
