For the Salsa:

Put tomatoes, onion, bell pepper, garlic, and jalapeño in a saucepan and turn the heat on medium until the mix starts to simmer. Once simmering, stir occasionally until the onions are soft, then turn off the burner and let the mix rest for 1 minute. Drain the mix through a fine mesh strainer and put the chunks back into the sauce pan. Set aside for later use.
