2. Chop the Ingredients: Finely chop the fresh tomatoes, red onions, garlic clove, and jalapeño pepper. Be cautious while handling the jalapeño, especially if you prefer a milder salsa. For a spicier kick, you can leave the seeds in.

3. Zest the Lime: Using a zester or a fine grater, zest the lime peel. Make sure to only grate the green outer layer, avoiding the bitter white pith underneath.

4. Juice the Lime: Cut the lime in half and juice it using a citrus juicer or by hand. Make sure to remove any seeds that may fall into the juice.

5. Mix the Ingredients: In a non-metallic bowl, combine the chopped tomatoes, red onions, lime zest, lime juice, minced garlic, and jalapeño pepper. Season with salt and pepper according to your taste preferences.

6. Toss and Blend: Gently toss all the ingredients together until well combined. The vibrant colors and fresh aroma will start to meld together, promising a flavorful salsa.

7. Adjust Seasoning: Taste the salsa and adjust the seasoning if needed. You can add more lime juice for extra tanginess or more jalapeño for an added kick.

8. Chill in the Refrigerator: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate the salsa for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together. For best results, let it chill for up to 4 hours.

9. Serve and Enjoy: Once chilled, serve your homemade Mexican tomatillo and lime salsa with crispy tortilla chips, tacos, quesadillas, or alongside grilled meats and seafood. Garnish with fresh cilantro leaves for an extra burst of flavor.

10. Storage: Store any leftover salsa in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. However, it’s so delicious that it’s unlikely to last that long!
