Notes

Use any kind of onions or hot peppers you like.
For an extra kick, add a third jalapeño or a serrano pepper.
When in season, use 3 medium or 2 large fresh tomatoes in place of canned.
Try serving this salsa as a dip with corn tortilla chips, as a topping on baked potatoes or tacos, or as a sauce for grilled meats and fish.
Make a bigger batch and freeze.
