Fresh Salsa

This is only slightly adapted from Rick Bayless's Mexican Everyday cookbook.

It is wonderful on Tacos, and even better the next morning on your Breakfast Burrito.

INGREDIENTS

1 jalapeño, seeded and roughly chopped

1 clove garlic, peeled and roughly chopped

2 medium ripe tomatoes, quartered and cored

1/4 cup fresh cilantro

1 lime, halved

2 green onions, finely sliced

Salt and fresh pepper

METHOD

In Cuisinart, process or pulse jalapeño until finely chopped, scraping down sides of bowl as needed. Add garlic and process or pulse. Add tomatoes and cilantro and pulse until tomatoes are roughly chopped. Transfer to a small bowl.

Add sliced green onions. Squeeze juice from one half of the lime. Taste for seasoning to determine if you need the other half of the lime. Add salt and pepper to taste.
