other ingredients:
Handful Coirander leaves (cilantro)
Peeled garlic - 2 pods
Salt as required
Ground pepper as required
Lemon juice - 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.
