2 cups chopped onion
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano

Rinse seeds from chiles and chop. Heat 2 tablespoons oil in medium saucepan. Add chiles and garlic; sauté.
Drain tomatoes, reserving 1/2 cup liquid. Break up tomatoes. Add tomatoes, onions, salt, oregano and reserved 1/2 cup tomato liquid to sautéed chiles and garlic. Simmer uncovered, about 30 minutes, or until thick. Set aside.
