Instructions

1
Prepare the vegetables by halving the Roma tomatoes and removing the stems from the Fresno peppers.
2
Place the prepared tomatoes and peppers into a saucepan and add enough water to cover them.
3
Bring the water to a boil and cook the vegetables until they are soft and the tomato skins start to peel.
4
Using a slotted spoon, transfer the boiled tomatoes and peppers to a blender.
5
Add the garlic cloves, white onion, chicken bouillon powder, salt, and garlic powder to the blender.
6
Pulse the blender until the salsa reaches your desired consistency. Be careful not to over-blend for a chunkier, taqueria-style texture.
7
Pour the salsa into a serving bowl.
8
Garnish with freshly chopped cilantro and serve with tortilla chips.
