Ingredients

5 tomatoes (medium)
2 jalapeños
2 cloves garlic
1/4 red onion (medium)
3 tablespoons lime juice (fresh)
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 tablespoon cilantro (fresh
leaves)

Steps

Wash hands with soap and water.
Wash the vegetables. Cut the tomatoes into 1/2-inch pieces and put into a medium-sized bowl. Because they can burn the skin, an adult should seed and mince the jalapeños and add them to the tomatoes.
Peel the garlic and mince. Peel the onion and cut into 1/4-inch pieces. Add the onion and garlic to the tomato mixture.
Stir in the lime juice, salt, and pepper. Chop the cilantro and stir only until combined.
