Description
Make sure you dice the ingredients as fine as possible – this will result in better flavor! Also make sure the diced chilies and onion have time to marinate in the lime juice before you add the tomatoes (5 to 10 minutes is fine).

Notes
Serrano peppers are hotter than jalapenos (by about 3 times on average). If you don’t like heat or you can’t find serrano peppers you can easily substitute jalapenos.
