Named after the chef who invented this recipe, Sal's Cooked Salsa has been a popular Mexican condiment for years. This delicious and tangy tomato salsa is a perfect combination of juicy tomatoes, spicy jalapenos, and sweet onions loaded with rich flavors. This cooked salsa tastes different from the raw version and can be enjoyed with tortilla chips, tacos, burritos, or as a topping for baked potatoes. It is a perfect addition for a party or as a snack while watching movies.

Instructions

1.	Remove the stems from the jalapenos and slice them in half lengthwise. Remove the seeds and membranes if you prefer a milder salsa. Chop the jalapenos into small pieces.
2.	Peel and dice the onion into small pieces.
3.	Wash the tomatoes and chop them into small cubes. Discard the stem and center of the tomato.
4.	In a large pot, heat the oil over medium heat. Add onions and cook for 2-3 minutes until translucent, stirring occasionally.
5.	Add the jalapenos and cook for 2-3 more minutes, stirring occasionally.
6.	Add the chopped tomatoes and salt and stir everything together.
7.	Pour in the water and bring everything to a boil.
8.	Reduce heat to a simmer and cook uncovered for about 20-25 minutes or until the salsa thickens to your preference.
