INGREDIENTS

• 6 to 8 medium Roma tomatoes, diced 1/2″
• 1 oz. Spanish yellow onion or red onion, diced small
• 1 Serrano pepper, diced small (If you like it spicier, add Serranos to taste.)
• 1/2 oz./ chopped cilantro (José likes cilantro a lot for this recipe. He usually uses from 1 to 1.5 oz. of cilantro, though 1.5 oz. may be a lot.)
• Salt to your taste
• 1 fl. oz. lime juice (A fresh lime is preferred – the juice of one large lime will be enough.)

METHOD

Combine all ingredients and then let them set for about 1/2 hour in the refrigerator so all the flavors blend together, then drain all remaining juices.

Ready to serve!
