Step 1
Roughly chop tomatoes, bell pepper, and red onion into 1-inch chunks.
Step 2
Add vegetables to a food processor. Pulse until coarsely chopped—texture should be chunky, not smooth.
Step 3
Transfer to a bowl. Stir in lemon juice, red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper.
Step 4
Taste and adjust heat or lemon. Let sit 2 minutes for flavors to marry.
Step 5
Serve with warm pita chips and a drizzle of olive oil on top.
