Instructions

To create an authentic Mexican-style salsa, begin by slicing and combining the Roma tomatoes, chopped red onions, fresh cilantro leaves, garlic cloves, jalapenos, and habaneros in a suitable-sized bowl.

For the final step, transfer the mixture to a food processor and begin processing on low speed.

Gradually increase the speed to medium and continue pulsing until the desired consistency is achieved.

Adjust the pulsing time accordingly to achieve your preferred texture.

Your authentic Mexican-style salsa is now ready to serve alongside tortilla chips or as an accompaniment to your favorite Mexican dishes.

With its zesty flavors and freshness, this salsa is sure to add a vibrant touch to your culinary adventures.
