Method
- Mix all ingredients together in a large bowl, except for the tomatoes.
- Chill the mixture well; leaving it in the refrigerator overnight yields the best results.
- Mix in the chopped tomatoes just before serving.
Notes:
This is a wonderfully fresh "dip" if you want to use it as that - but is also good inside tacos, as a side - whatever you want to use it for.
