Steps
- Wash and cut tomatoes into ¼ inch to ½ inch diced pieces.
- Prepare the pepper by removing the stem, ribs and seeds. Cut into a fine dice. (Note: be careful when handling hot peppers. Avoid touching them with your hands. Wash your hands thoroughly with soap and hot water after handling and avoid touching your eyes for several hours.)
