Ingredients
  

  • 4 Roma tomatoes
  • 0.33 white onion
  • 1 jalapeño pepper
  • 1 serrano pepper
  • 2 tsp chipotle peppers (optional)
  • 1 small handful cilantro
  • 0.5 lime, juiced
  • 0.75 tsp salt

Equipment

  • Blender
  • Cutting Board
  • Chef’s Knife

Method
 

  1. Roughly chop the tomatoes, onion, peppers, and cilantro. Add everything to a blender, including lime juice and salt.
  2. Pulse the salsa in short bursts to reach your preferred consistency — chunky or smooth.
  3. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Serve immediately or refrigerate for later.

Notes

Optional: Add chipotle peppers for smoky depth. Adjust heat by using more or fewer peppers. Best enjoyed fresh, but can be refrigerated in a sealed container for up to 4 days.
