Hermano Roberto's Simple Salsa is a classic Mexican condiment that can be served as a dip or topping for a variety of dishes, such as tacos, burritos, and grilled meats. With only a handful of ingredients, it's easy to make and can be customized to suit your personal taste preferences – add more jalapenos for extra heat or adjust the amount of cilantro to your liking. While this recipe uses canned tomatoes, you can also use fresh ones when they are in season for an even fresher taste.

6.	Drain the juice from the can of tomatoes and chop the tomatoes into small pieces.
