Ingredients

  • 2 ½ pounds (1.1kg) ripe tomatoes deseeded and finely chopped
  • 1 onion peeled and finely chopped
  • 1 small jalapeño or serrano pepper, deseeded and finely chopped
  • 4 tablespoons lime juice or more or less, to taste
  • 4 tablespoons chopped oregano
  • salt to taste

Instructions

  • Remove the seeds from both the tomatoes and the jalapeño.
  • Finely chop the tomato, onion, and pepper.
  • Add to a bowl along with the lime juice, oregano, and salt. Stir well to combine.
  • Let stand for at least 10 minutes, then serve.

Notes

  • Wear gloves or wash your hands well after cutting the jalapeño. Nothing hurts worse than when you touch your eye after you chopped a pepper. 
  • Cut all of the veggies into small pieces, similar in size. This will help the ingredients to mix evenly, so you get a bit of everything in every spoonful.
  • Serve with a slotted spoon to eliminate extra moisture.
  • Press and roll the lime on the counter or microwave it for 30 seconds before cutting, and this will yield more juice.
  • Store – unused Chipotle tomato salsa can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for about a week.
  • There are 0 Blue Plan SmartPoints in one serving of this.
