Ingredients

1 can Diced tomatoes (you can use stewed, but they will be sweeter) (drain about half of the liquid and reserve)
1/2 sm Onion minced

6 sprg cilantro, crushed and minced (use fresh, not dry) (up to 8)
1 x Minced jalepenos (I prefer fresh, although you can use pickled) (up to 2) Salt Pepper Just a splash of either lemon juice, lime juice, or possibly vinegar (not too much on the vinegar-do not overpower it-you can always add in more)

Here is my "recipe detective" or possibly copycat version of a simple, easy to make tomato based salsa. This comes from a Tex-Mex restaraunt in North Richland Hills, Texas. called Los Hombres. Their food is decent, but the beauty of their salsa is in it's simplicity. It's very quick and easy to make.
Mix all ingredients together (to taste). Lightly chop in a food processer or possibly hand blender, but don't puree. Leave some texture
Note: This is the basic recipe and is fine as is, but sometimes I cannot help tweeking here and there. If it's too warm, add in a little sugar. If it's too thick, add in some of the reserved liquid you liquid removed off. You can also add in chopped garlic, grnd cumin, a healthy pinch of oregano, minced green onion, canned green chilis and/or possibly in any combination. But the basic recipe is a good place to start for the first time. Use as a corn chip dip, or possibly as a topping over enchiladas, tostadas,tamales, spanish rice, refried beans, Large eggs, or possibly whatever. The result is quite "toothsome".
