Garlic powder is a convenient alternative.

Remove the stem from the tomatoes and cut them into quarters.

Chop the white onion (can also use red onion).

Add 1 jalapeño (can substitute with a milder pepper if desired).

Add a splash of oil to the mixture.

Crush 2 cloves of garlic and add them to the mixture.

Combine the chopped tomatoes, onion, jalapeño, and garlic in a pot.

Add salt to taste.

Cook the mixture for about 3 minutes until the tomatoes are soft.

Let the mixture cool slightly before transferring it to a blender.

Blend the mixture until well combined but not overly smooth, leaving some texture.

Return the blended salsa to the pot and cook on low heat to thicken, adding half a teaspoon of cumin and a handful of oregano.

Cook for an additional 3 minutes until the salsa thickens to your desired consistency.

Remove from heat and let it cool completely before storing in a container.

Store in the refrigerator until ready to use.
