Ingredients

  • Tomato diced
  • 1/2 medium onion diced
  • Green bell pepper diced
  • 2 – 3 TBSP cilantro roughly chopped
  • 2 oz diced green chilis or 1/2 – 1 jalapeno finely sliced
  • 1 clove garlic minced
  • 1 pinch cumin
  • 1 TBSP lime juice
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Start by dicing your tomatoes, onion and green pepper. I use my 1/2 diced onion amount as a guide and cut an equal amount of tomatoes and green pepper.
  • Add in your minced garlic, cilantro, and green chilis (or jalapenos) if you choose to use any of these.
  • Season with cumin, salt and pepper to taste.
  • Pour lime juice over mixture.
  • Stir to combine.
  • Cover and store in the refrigerator.
  • This is best after sitting in the refrigerator for at least a few hours (or overnight). This gives the tomato juices and all of the flavors time to marry together and ensures a flavorful bite.
