lime juice
garlic
julienne red onion
cilantro
jalapeno or serrano chiles

For added heat, I make a "death sauce" on the side for the more adventurous guests .....in a blender mostly serrano chiles, lime juice, garlic, cilantro and salt. Blend to a coarse puree.
Serve with fresh boiled corn for a sweet-sour contrast.
If anyone is reading this, book mark this post.... This is goooood stuff!
