Method

Restated from the original video

1. 1

   Halve the tomatoes and scoop out the watery seeds with a teaspoon if they are very juicy.

2. 2

   Cut the tomatoes into small, even dice, about 5 mm, and put them in a bowl.

3. 3

   Dice the onion just as finely and add it.

4. 4

   Stem the chiles, remove the seeds and pale ribs for less heat, mince them and add to the bowl.

5. 5

   Chop the cilantro and add it with the lime juice and salt.

6. 6

   Toss gently, then let it sit for 15 min so the salt draws out the juices.

7. 7

   Taste, adjust the salt and lime juice, and serve the same day.
