Instructions

In a medium bowl, combine the diced tomatoes, chopped onion, jalapeños, and cilantro.
Add the lime juice and salt to the mixture.
Stir everything together until well combined.
Let sit for at least 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Serve immediately or refrigerate until ready to use.

Notes

For a milder version, use only one jalapeño or remove all seeds.
Letting it sit longer enhances the flavor.
Great as a topping for tacos, grilled meats, or as a dip with chips.
Use fresh, ripe tomatoes for the best flavor.
