Instructions:
- Roughly chop the jalapeños, tomatoes, onion, and garlic.
- Add all chopped vegetables to a blender or food processor.
- Add cilantro, lime juice, and salt.
- Pulse until the salsa reaches your preferred texture, whether chunky or smooth.
- Taste and adjust the seasoning by adding more salt or lime juice as needed.
- Chill for about 15 minutes to allow the flavors to blend, if time allows.
Variations
- Roast the jalapeños, onions, or tomatoes for a smoky flavor.
- Add an avocado for a creamy jalapeño salsa.
- Swap lime juice for a splash of apple cider vinegar for tangier brightness.
- Add a handful of spinach or parsley to boost color without changing the flavor.
Tips
- Remove seeds and membranes from the jalapeños for a milder salsa.
- If the salsa is too thick, add a tablespoon of water or oil to loosen it.
- Taste as you go—jalapeños vary in heat from batch to batch.
- Store refrigerated for up to 4 days; the flavor intensifies as it rests.
