4 medium, ripe tomatoes
½ cup green bell pepper, chopped
¼ cup red onion, chopped
¼ cup fresh cilantro leaves, chopped
1 large lime
1 small clove of garlic, finely chopped
¼ teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon cumin powder
1/8 teaspoon chili pepper

DIRECTIONS

1. Place 1 tomato on a cutting board and cut the tomato in half, across the middle. Then dice both halves.  Scoop up all the juice on the cutting board with the diced tomatoes and put them into a medium-mixing bowl.  Repeat with the remaining tomatoes. 
2. Add bell pepper, red onion, cilantro, and garlic.  Stir well. 
3. Use a sharp knife and cut the lime in half across the middle.  Squeeze the lime juice and add to the tomato mixture. 
4. Add ¼ teaspoon salt, chili and cumin stir gently.
5. Serve immediately with Tortilla Chips or quesadillas.

Try adding a bit of chopped jalapeno peppers for additional flavor. This salsa go very well with grilled, baked or steamed fish.
