Instructions
- Drain off about half of the liquid from the canned diced tomatoes. If you prefer a chunkier salsa, you can drain off more liquid.
- In a medium bowl, combine the drained diced tomatoes, chopped yellow onion, seeded and chopped jalapeño pepper, chopped cilantro, minced garlic, and fresh lime juice.
- Add the salt and ground cumin (if using). Stir everything together to combine.
- Taste the salsa and adjust seasonings as needed. You may want to add more salt, lime juice, or jalapeño for more heat.
- For best flavor, cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld before serving. This step is optional but recommended.
- Serve chilled with tortilla chips, tacos, burritos, or any of your favorite Tex-Mex dishes.
Notes
For a smoother salsa, you can pulse the ingredients in a food processor. If you don't have fresh jalapeños, you can use canned jalapeño slices, but adjust the amount to your liking. Store any leftover salsa in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
