Remove from the oven and transfer the peppers to a bowl. Cover with plastic wrap and allow to cool completely. Once cooled, transfer the peppers to a cutting board. Remove the stems and seeds. Using the blade of your knife scrape off the charred skin. In a food processor or blender, combine the roasted peppers, canned tomatoes, salt, black pepper, garlic powder and cumin. Purée until completely smooth. Set aside and reserve for later.
• Char the poblano peppers directly over an open flame on your stove.
