Pepita Salsa Fresca

Sasha:

As it turns out, all the ingredients I could need for a good salsa fresca are right here!  Since tortillas are hard to come by here, I served this with rice, chopped cabbage and lettuce, scrambled eggs, and a little bit of crumbled cheese for a tortillal-less burrito bowl. The pepitas (or pumpkin seeds) adds extra nutrients and are anti-parasitic!

Pepita Salsa Fresca
2Tbs roasted pumpkin seeds
6 small tomatoes
1-2 green onions
1/2 yellow onion
thai chili pepper
handful cilantro
7 small cloves garlic
Salt to taste
1 small lime

Grind the pumpkin seeds in the mortar and pestle, then add the garlic to crush with the seed paste.
Finely chop all of the veggies and herbs, and then mix all ingredients into the mortar and pestle.
Juice the lime into the salsa mixture.

Salt to taste
