3 cans (14-1/2 ounces each) diced tomatoes, undrained |
1/2 cup water |
6 garlic cloves, minced |
2 tablespoons minced fresh cilantro |
4 teaspoons beef bouillon granules |
2 teaspoons pepper |
1-1/2 teaspoons ground cumin |
1 teaspoon dried oregano |
1/2 cup pimiento-stuffed olives, coarsely chopped |
