Guiermo Okopski's Authentic Salsa

1. 1

   Cut the end off the tomatoes and squeeze out the seeds and slime.

2. 2

   Coarsely dice the tomatoes and onions.

3. 3

   Halve the jalapenos and remove the seeds; set the seeds aside (do not discard).

4. 4

   Finely chop the jalapenos.

5. 5

   Combine the above into a bowl with the tomato sauce, garlic, and lime juice; mix well.

6. 6

   Allow to sit at room temperature for about 20 minutes, then chill before serving.

7. 7

   Taste the salsa to determine if it's hot enough for your taste, if it needs a bit more fire, crush the seeds from the jalapeno(s) and add a bit to the salsa.

8. 8

   Keep in mind that it will get a bit hotter anyway as the ingredients marinate.

9. 9

   Keep adding until you're satisfied with the intensity.
