Step 3: Dicing Onion and Jalapenos
Your first step is cutting up your onion and jalapeños. For this salsa your going to only want half of the onion. Cut it in 1/2 and dice up the other half of it. Once you have your onion cut start cutting up the jalapeños. Remove all the jalapeños stems before you began slicing. You are going to want to cut both the onion and jalapeños into very tiny portions. This is important because if they are cut too big then you run the risk of your consumer choking on the large pieces.
Step 4: Adding Crushed Tomato
This is an easy process. Your simply going to put your crushed tomato into the large container. Once that is done throw in both the onion and jalapeños on top. It is important that the container you use is large, so that you have room for mixing.

For this step you need your measuring spoons. Add each one of these ingredients directly to your large container. It does not matter which order you do this step in. First is 3 full tea spoons of crushed red peppers. Then add 3 full tea spoons of garlic. After that add 3 full tea spoons of salt. Lastly you are going to want to add half a tea spoon of oregano. It's important to first put the half a tea spoon of oregano into your hand and crushing it into dust form,before adding to the container. Oregano is a very strong spice and needs to be used carefully.
Step 6: Adding Water
For this step you will need measuring cups. Add 3 full cups of water to the large container.
Step 7: Mixing
For the mixing process you will need a whisk. Simply mix all the ingredients in the container with the whisk in a clockwise motion. You will stir until it is somewhat thick and all your ingredients have dissolved in your salsa. Your salsa is done at this point and ready to eat.
