With a large sharp knife, chop the chilies very fine. Mince the garlic.

Coarsely chop the tomatoes. Finely chop the scallions and cilantro. Place the garlic, tomatoes, scallions, and cilantro in a large bowl. If the tomatoes are very dry and juiceless, gradually add up to ½ cup cold water to achieve a light salsa consistency. Stir to mix the ingredients.

This recipe yields about 4 cups of salsa.
