Peeled garlic - 2 pods

Salt as required

Ground pepper as required

Lemon juice - 1 tablespoon

White vinegar - 1 tablespoon

Method:

Cut the tomatoes and scoop out the seeds. Chop it finely.

Chop finely the bell peppers (red and green) after taking out the seeds.

Chop finely the onion.

Chop the Jalapeño and garlic finely.

In a large mixing bowl, add all the chopped vegetables together.

Add other ingredients and mix well.

Enjoy the salsa with Tortilla.
