Equipment
- cutting board
- Knife
Ingredients
- 3 Roma tomatoes
- 1 jalapeño pepper
- 2 serrano peppers
- ¼ piece white onion
- 1 small clove garlic
- ¼ cup cilantro
- ½ lime
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- ¼ cup water
Instructions
- Cut the chiles lenghwise (remove the seeds and membranes for a milder salsa).
- Cut the tomatoes in half lengthwise and chop the onion into large pieces for easier blending.
- Place the cut vegetables, peeled garlic clove, cilantro, lime juice, salt and pepper into a blender or food processor.
