Insert the large metal chopping blade into the large work bowl of the Cuisinart® Food Processor. Put half of the cilantro, half of the onion, garlic cloves, jalapeños,

1 teaspoon of salt and half the tomatoes into the work bowl and pulse to chop to desired consistency, about 8 to10 quick pulses; repeat with the remaining half.

Combine the two batches in a large bowl and stir in the lime juice. Taste and adjust seasoning accordingly.

For better consistency, drain each batch in a strainer to remove excess liquid.

Serve with your favorite tortilla chips.

TIP: Salsa can be processed in one batch. However, a better consistency is achieved by processing the tomatoes in two batches.
