Due to popular demand. This recipe is the real shit, yo. It will change your life.
1 (28 ounce) can diced tomatoes
1 (5 1/2 ounce) can tomato paste
2 small jalapeno peppers (seeded and chopped)
2 minced fresh garlic cloves
2 tablespoons fresh cilantro (chopped)
2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
3 tablespoons olive oil
1/2-3/4 red onion, chopped (the amount you use is up to you)
To easily peel tomatoes, cut an X into the top or bottom of the tomato and place in boiling water for a few minutes. remove, let cool slightly and remove skin.
Dice tomatoes, place in food processor / blender and add tomato paste, chopped peppers, minced garlic, cilantro, salt, onions and oil. Process until mixed.
(Experiment with this step....I don't have a real blender so I borrow derbis's hand blender and do all the blending in a giant bowl.)
At this point the salsa is ready to serve, but if left to sit in refrigerator for a few hours the salsa will thicken and the flavours will intensify.
Enjoy and write in the comments section about how successful you are. My advice would be to do the blending a bit at a time, and closely monitor the consistency. It's not supposed to be chunky but you don't want to turn it into a puree either.
Enjoy!
PS. The real reason this salsa is the best is that they don't use green peppers. Brilliant.

Crap. We don't have a blender/food processor. I think we sold it during our purge before leaving TO. If I ever needed a reason to buy one, this is surely it.
Thanks Pierre.
Just buy the cheapest one you can find...surely a vancouver pawn shop has something for 10 bucks-ish. It's worth it trust me!!
Don't buy a cheap blender! I've gone through 3 blenders since I moved to Vancouver. You should totally invest in a good food processor. Like a cuisinart. I use my food processor literally every day. its so good. it will change your cooking-life. word.
