Mexican Night – Simple Tomato Salsa

simple-tomato-salsa

A good Mexican tortilla based dish needs a good salsa to see it through. I first threw this together when, upon making the most recent incarnation of my Peanut Butter Chicken Fajitas, I realised that there were too many creamy elements that needed to be balanced out – the yoghurt, the peanut butter and the guacamole were lovely but the success of a fajita rests in the balance of the spices, the juicy vegetables, the creamy coolant of guacamole and sour cream/yoghurt and the acidity of the salsa.

This is intended to be an easy solution to complete the balance, and it won’t take you long at all.
