Ingredients

  • 1 pound fresh tomatoes diced
  • 15 ounce can diced tomatoes with their juices – or use more fresh tomatoes, if desired
  • 1 small onion chopped (use white or red)
  • 1 jalapeno pepper chopped (use 2 for spicier, or serrano pepper)
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1/3 cup fresh chopped cilantro
  • Juice from 1 lime 2-3 tablespoons
  • 1 teaspoon salt or to taste
  • ½ teaspoon cumin
  • ½ teaspoon sugar optional – or to taste

Instructions

  • Add all of the ingredients to a food processor or blender. Pulse several times to combine until you reach a consistency you prefer. I like it best when it is still a bit chunky.
  • Refrigerate at least 1 hour to let the flavors mingle, and serve.
