Ingredients
- 3 large tomatoes
- 1/3rd cup of coriander leaves, roughly chopped
- 1/4 of a cup of finely chopped (white) onion
- 1.5 tablespoons finely chopped jalapeno or serrano chilli
- 1-2 tablespoons lime juice
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
Method
- Cut the tomatoes in half and use a teaspoon to scoop out the seeds and watery centre. Cut into 1cm dice.
- Combine with remaining ingredients. Set aside for 5 to 20 minutes. Serve as a topping or side for things like tacos, burritos, enchiladas, quesadillas and any Mexican dish!
- This can be made ahead up to 1 day. Leave out the lime juice and salt (otherwise the tomato juices will leech out), cover and refrigerate. Drain excess liquid, add lime juice and salt just before serving.
