Begin by washing the tomatoes thoroughly under running water. Remove the stems and cut them in half.

Slice the onion and jalapeno peppers, ensuring they are deseeded for a milder salsa.

Chop the fresh cilantro, discarding any tough stems.

Mince the garlic cloves, ensuring they are finely chopped.

In a blender or food processor, add the halved tomatoes, sliced onions, jalapeno peppers, cilantro, minced garlic, black pepper, and salt.

Pulse the ingredients a few times until you achieve your desired consistency. For a chunkier salsa, pulse briefly, and for a smoother texture, blend for a longer duration.

Adjusting the Seasonings

Taste the salsa and adjust the seasoning according to your preference. You can add more salt, pepper, or garlic if desired.

To increase the heat, add additional finely chopped jalapeno peppers.

Transfer the salsa to a serving bowl and cover it with plastic wrap or a lid.

Allow the salsa to chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to an hour to enhance the flavors and meld the ingredients together.
