Effort: high (takes a lot of time to chop everything)

• 5 Cloves of garlic
• 1 Lime
• Cumin
• Salt + Pepper

Salsa

Ingredients:

• 4-6 Tomatoes OR 2-3 tomatoes, followed by a bunch of canned tomatoes.
• Cilantro
• 2 Jalapenos
• 5 Cloves of garlic
• 3 Red onions
• 1 Lime
• Sugar
• Salt + pepper

NOTE: When preparing, do not use a food processor, i dont know what kind yall have but the ones I use end up introducing way too many bubbles into the mixture.

Preparation for both:

• Jalapenos, onions, tomatoes, cilantro get chopped and thrown in
• Avocados get thrown in with no skin and no pit and get mashed
• Garlic gets crushed
• That's the base mixture, at this point you can mix/mash everything you've thrown in together.
• Afterwards juice and add in the lime
• Add in about a teaspoon's worth of black pepper
• Add in about a teaspoon's worth of additional spices, if the ingredient list calls for it
• Add in about half a teaspoon's worth of salt, then keep adding it in bit by bit until you achieve desired saltiness. The trick here is that the more you add, the more flavor you end up revealing, but it is easy to go overborad.
