For the salsa

  • Add all but ¼ cup of the chopped tomatoes, half the chopped onions, ½ cup of the cilantro, half of the garlic, half of the lime juice, and half of the jalapeno peppers to a food processor. Pulse a couple of times to achieve a rough chop. If you want your salsa smooth, process longer.
