Great Grand Ma's Salsa

Drain the large can of tomatoes in a fine-mesh strainer, pressing gently to remove excess liquid; reserve the drained tomatoes in a mixing bowl.

Drain the small can of diced green chilies and add to the bowl with the tomatoes.

Stir in the minced onion, minced garlic, and oregano or cilantro until evenly combined.

Season with salt and pepper to taste, stirring well to incorporate the seasonings throughout.

Let the salsa rest for at least 5 minutes at room temperature to allow the flavors to meld before serving.

Taste and adjust seasoning as needed, adding more salt, pepper, or herbs if desired.

Transfer to a serving bowl and serve at room temperature or chilled.
