Step 1
Start by chopping the tomatoes, serrano peppers, jalapenos, white onion, garlic, and cilantro into bite-sized pieces. Toss everything together in a bowl along with the chili powder, lime zest, and lime juice. Give it a good stir to make sure all those flavors combine nicely. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and pop it in the fridge for at least an hour—this lets the flavors really meld together. If you have time, letting it sit overnight makes it even better. When you're ready, give it a quick stir and it’s good to go!

Storage & leftovers
Keep the salsa in an airtight container in the refrigerator. It will stay fresh for up to 5 days. Stir before serving, as some liquid may separate over time. Avoid freezing to maintain the best texture.
