Ingredients

  • 4 large roma tomatoes (1 lb) diced
  • 1 medium jalapeno seeds and membranes removed
  • ½ cup white onion finely diced
  • 1 tsp garlic minced
  • ¼ cup cilantro chopped
  • 1 lime
  • salt & pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Finely dice the tomato, onion, jalapeno and cilantro.
  • Add the diced ingredients to a medium size bowl.
  • Squeeze the lime juice over the ingredients. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Taste and add more lime/salt/pepper to taste.
  • Cover and let this sit in the fridge for at least 30 minutes to chill and let the flavors meld together. This also lets the juices release from the tomato and softens the jalapeno and onion.

Notes

Storage: refrigerate in a sealed container for up to 5 days.
*Only add avocado if you will be enjoying that same day.
