Notes
To control the spice level, reduce or omit the jalapeno all together. You can also remove the seeds and white ribs of the jalapeno before dicing to remove a lot of the heat but still leave the flavor.To make this in a food processor, add the onions and garlic and pulse until the onions are rough chopped. Then add the tomatoes, lime juice, salt, pepper and cilantro and pulse again until the salsa reaches your desired consistency.
