Steps:
- Prep the ingredients: Roughly chop the tomatoes, chili peppers, and onions. Be careful while handling the chili peppers. Use a plastic baggie or disposable gloves to handle them, or wash your hands thoroughly with soap and hot water after handling and avoid touching your eyes for several hours. Set aside some of the seeds from the peppers. If the salsa isn't hot enough, you can add a few for more heat.
- Make the salsa: Place all of the ingredients in the bowl of a food processor fitted with the blade. Pulse only a few times, just enough to finely dice the ingredients and not enough to purée. If you don't have a food processor, you can finely dice by hand.
- Adjust seasonings: Place in a serving bowl. Add salt and pepper to taste. If the chilis make the salsa too hot, add some more chopped tomato. If it's not hot enough, carefully add a few of the seeds from the chilis, or add a little more ground cumin. If you like, let the salsa sit for an hour (room temperature or chilled) for the flavors to combine.
- Serve: Serve with chips, tortillas, tacos, burritos, tostadas, quesadillas , or pinto or black beans. The salsa will keep refrigerated for up to 5 days.

Tips:
- Use fresh, ripe ingredients: The fresher the ingredients, the better your salsa will taste. Look for tomatoes that are firm and red, onions that are crisp and white, and cilantro that is fresh and green.
- Chop the ingredients evenly: This will help ensure that the salsa has a consistent texture and flavor.
- Don't over-process the salsa: A few pulses in a food processor or blender is all you need to combine the ingredients. Over-processing will make the salsa too smooth and watery.
- Season the salsa to taste: Start with a small amount of salt and pepper, then add more to taste. You can also add other seasonings, such as chili powder, cumin, or garlic powder.
- Chill the salsa before serving: This will help the flavors to meld together and make the salsa more refreshing.
- Serve the salsa with your favorite Mexican dishes: Salsa is a great addition to tacos, burritos, nachos, and quesadillas. It can also be used as a dip for chips or vegetables.
