Ingredients
  

  • 3-4 large beefsteak tomatoes (about 1.5 lbs, excess juice removed if desired)
  • 1 medium green bell pepper
  • 1/3 cup yellow onion
  • 1-2 cloves garlic
  • 1 jalapeño pepper
  • 1/2 cup fresh cilantro
  • 2 tablespoons lime juice
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/4–1/2 teaspoon salt, to taste

Equipment

  • Cutting Board
  • Chef’s Knife
  • food processor or blender
  • Measuring cups and spoons

Method
 

  1. Roughly chop tomatoes, bell pepper, onion, garlic, jalapeño, and cilantro. If your tomatoes are very juicy, remove some excess liquid before blending.
  2. Add all ingredients to a food processor or blender. Pulse to combine until desired consistency is reached — slightly chunky is ideal.
  3. Taste and adjust seasonings, adding more salt or lime juice if needed. Chill in the refrigerator for 2 hours or overnight for best flavor. Serve with chips or as a topping.
