  2. 2Peel and finely dice the 1 medium onion. Finely dice the 2 medium tomatoes.
  3. 3Place a 30.48 cm skillet or large pot over medium heat (176.7°C / 175°C). Add the 2 tbsp of vegetable oil.
  4. 4Add the diced 1 medium onion to the hot oil. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion is soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.
