Instructions
1. Wash the tomatoes and chili peppers. Place a pot of water on the stove. Set the burner to high.
2. Place the tomatoes and chili peppers in the water once it starts to boil. Boil for five to seven minutes.
3. Chop the white and Spanish onions in small pieces with a sharp knife. Press the garlic cloves with a garlic press while the tomatoes and chilies are boiling.
4. Pour the tomatoes and chilies into a colander to cool down. The tomatoes' skin should start to peel off. The chili skin does not come off as part of the boiling process, however.
5. Let the tomatoes cool for three minutes before peeling any skin still attached. Once all the skin is removed, place the whole tomatoes and chilies into a blender. Blend until the mixture looks like liquid.
6. Take a spoon and feel for any lumpy tomato or chili pieces once you are done blending. If you find lumps, continue to blend until the mixture is fully liquid.
7. Pour the liquid into a plastic container. Add the onions and garlic. Stir with a spoon.
8. Put the container top on and place the salsa in the refrigerator to chill.
