Instructions

1
Roughly chop the roma tomatoes, jalapeños, and white onion.
2
Place the chopped vegetables and whole garlic cloves into a dry skillet over medium-high heat.
3
Toast the vegetables, turning occasionally, until they are softened and have a light char. This will add a smoky flavor.
4
Transfer the toasted vegetables to a blender or food processor.
5
Add the canned diced tomatoes, fresh cilantro, chicken bouillon powder, ground cumin, and salt to the blender.
6
Pulse the blender a few times until the ingredients are combined but still chunky. Do not over-blend.
7
Taste and adjust seasonings if necessary. Squeeze in the fresh lime juice and stir to combine.
8
Pour into a serving bowl and enjoy with tortilla chips.
