Fresh Tomato Salsa Recipe

2-3 medium sized fresh tomatoes (from 1 lb
to 1 1/2 lb), stems removed, finely diced
1/2 red onion, finely diced
1 jalapeño chili pepper (stems, ribs, seeds removed), finely diced
1 serano chili pepper (stems, ribs, seeds removed), finely diced
Juice of one lime
1/2 cup chopped cilantro
Salt and pepper to taste
Optional: oregano and or cumin to taste

Start with chopping up 2 medium sized fresh tomatoes.

Prepare the chilies. Be very careful while handling
these hot peppers. If you can, avoid touching them
with your hands. Use a fork to cut up the chilies over
a small plate, or use a paper towel to protect your
hands. Wash your hands thoroughly with soap and
hot water after handling and avoid touching your eyes
for several hours. Set aside some of the seeds from
the peppers. If the salsa isn't hot enough, you can
add a few for heat.

Combine all of the ingredients in a medium sized bowl.
Taste. If the chilies make the salsa too hot, add some
more chopped tomato. If not hot enough, carefully add
a few of the seeds from the chilies, or add some ground
cumin.

Let sit for an hour for the flavors to combine.

Makes approximately 3-4 cups.

Serve with chips, tortillas, tacos, burritos, tostadas, quesadillas,
pinto or black beans.
