Number Of Ingredients 8

1 clove garlic
2 teaspoons kosher salt, plus additional for seasoning
4 medium ripe tomatoes, cored and diced
1/4 medium red onion, finely diced

1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
1 to 2 tablespoons silver tequila (optional)

  • Smash the garlic clove, sprinkle with 1 teaspoon of the salt, and, with the flat side of a large knife, mash and smear the mixture to a coarse paste. Mix the garlic, tomatoes, onion, jalapeno, and cilantro in a serving bowl. Add the tequila, if desired, and season with the remaining salt, adding more to taste if necessary.
  • Serve immediately or cover with plastic wrap and set aside for 1 hour at room temperature. Serve with the tortilla chips.
