Instructions

1. Prep the Ingredients: Start by washing and dicing the tomatoes and green peppers. Chop the onion and jalapeños, and mince the garlic.

2. Cook the Aromatics: In a large skillet, add diced onions and garlic over medium heat. Sauté for about 5 minutes or until onions become translucent and garlic is fragrant.

4. Incorporate Tomatoes and Seasonings: Add the diced tomatoes, sea salt, and cumin to the mixture. Stir to combine, cooking for 5 minutes until tomatoes start to break down.

5. Simmer with Tomato Paste: Mix in the tomato paste and white granulated sugar, ensuring the paste is well stirred into the vegetables. Lower the heat.

6. Flavors Combine: Pour in the white vinegar and dried cilantro, gently stirring the salsa mix. Allow the salsa to simmer on low heat for 10 minutes, occasionally stirring, until it thickens.

7. Taste and Adjust: Once the salsa reaches your desired consistency, taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.

8. Ready to Serve: Remove from heat and let it cool for a few minutes. Serve with tortilla chips as a snack or as a topping for your favorite dishes.
