Start by making the tomato salsa: add 4 medium to large roma tomatoes, 1 jalapeno, 2 cloves of fresh garlic, and a little bit of diced onion to a blender.

Add 1/2 teaspoon of ground cumin, 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper, 2 teaspoons of chicken bouillon powder, and 1 cup of water to the blender.

Blend and puree the mixture until smooth.

Pour the salsa directly into a preheated pan with a little bit of oil and simmer.

Add salt to taste while the salsa simmers for about 10 minutes, then keep it warm and set aside.

Prepare the filling by adding diced onion (amount is optional) and 8 to 10 ounces of crumbled queso fresco in a bowl.

Heat oil in a pan and pass 12 to 15 corn tortillas through the hot oil to warm them up.

Fill each tortilla with the cheese and onion mixture, then carefully roll them up into tacos.

Cook the rolled tacos on a griddle for about a minute or until they are slightly crispy.

Serve the tacos on a plate and pour the tomato salsa over them.

Garnish with Mexican cream and extra queso fresco, and optionally with fresh lettuce, cabbage, or more onion.
