Step 1
Start by chopping the tomatoes, onion, jalapeno peppers, and cilantro, then toss them all into a big bowl. Squeeze in the fresh lime juice and sprinkle the taco seasoning over the top. Give everything a gentle stir so the flavors come together without mashing the ingredients. Cover the bowl and pop it in the fridge for at least an hour—that way, all those zesty flavors have time to meld. When you’re ready, give it a quick stir and dig in!

How to serve
Enjoy this salsa with tortilla chips as a classic snack or appetizer. It also pairs well with grilled meats, tacos, or scrambled eggs for a zesty kick. Try spooning it over avocado toast for a fresh twist.
Storage & leftovers
Store the salsa in an airtight container in the refrigerator. It will keep fresh for up to 4 days. Stir well before serving, and avoid leaving it out at room temperature for too long to maintain its bright flavor.
