Begin by finely dicing 4–5 ripe Roma tomatoes and a medium yellow onion. Use a sharp knife on a cutting board, ensuring you achieve small, even pieces. Combine them in a medium glass mixing bowl.

Next, take a bunch of fresh cilantro, rinse it thoroughly, and chop it finely. Add the chopped cilantro to the tomato and onion mixture in the bowl. Stir gently to incorporate the ingredients.

Prepare 1–2 jalapenos by cutting them in half and carefully removing the seeds and membranes. Finely dice the jalapenos and add them to the bowl, adjusting the quantity based on your taste.

In this step, add a splash of white vinegar, 1–2 minced garlic cloves, a sprinkle of chili powder, salt, and sugar to the mixing bowl. Toss all ingredients together thoroughly.

Taste your mixture and adjust the salt and sugar according to your preference to achieve the perfect balance of flavors.

Squeeze the juice of 1–2 limes over your salsa mixture, giving it one last toss to incorporate the bright, zesty flavor.

Either serve your Fresh Salsa with Cilantro & Lime immediately with tortilla chips or let it sit in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes to meld the flavors.
