Answer 3

Chop up an onion
Chop up a tomato
Chop up a couple of cloves of garlic
Chop up a couple (more or less to taste) of Jalapeno peppers
Chop up some cilantro

Heat some olive oil in a skillet, add the onions & saute until soft.
Add the garlic and tomatoes and jalapenos
continue sauteeing until all are soft
add the cilantro.
salt & pepper to taste.
enjoy hot or cold
make more if you want
you can add chopped up mango when you add the tomatoes...that's really yummy.
the heat of the jalapenos is in the seeds and the white veins in the inside. the flavor is in the green pod.

If you don't cook it it's called "pico de gallo" and is good just as it is.

This is just about as authentic as you can get. I lived in Mexico for 20 years, and brought this and a ton of recipes with me.

There are others, but to me this is the best of the best.
