Grill all fresh tomatoes, onion, and fresnos until thoroughly charred on the outside. Place garlic cloves in a 350 degree oven until slightly brown on all sides. In a stock pot, combine canned tomatoes, oregano, cumin, salt, and pepper and add grilled vegetables and chilies. Bring this to a boil, and immediately reduce heat to a low simmer. Cook for 30 minutes and adjust seasoning. Blend this mixture and serve or refrigerate.
