                                Using the food processor, chop the garlic clove, jalapeño, Roma tomatoes, and red onion. You can add the lime juice if you need a little liquid to allow the processor to do its job. Place in a large mixing bowl.

                                Mix all the ingredients together (including any of the lime juice you didn’t already add). Add the black pepper to taste.
