   2      cloves        garlic
     1/2  medium        onion -- quartered
   2                    jalapenos -- stemmed and seeded
   1      pound         firm ripe tomatoes -- seeded and coarsely 
   2      tablespoons   salad oil
                        juice of 1 lime
                        salt and pepper -- optional

Using a sharp knife, mince garlic, onion and chiles.  Finely chop cilantro 
and dice tomatoes.  Combine in a nonmetallic bowl; then add oil and lime 
juice.  Season to taste with salt and pepper, if deseired. 
You can make this in a food processor, for a moister (less chunky) 
texture.
