In a blender or food processor, combine the canned diced tomatoes (undrained), fresh chopped tomatoes, jalapeño, onion, cilantro, lime juice, and garlic.
Add cumin, salt, and sugar to the blender or food processor.
Pulse the mixture several times until the salsa reaches your desired consistency. For a smoother salsa, blend for a longer duration; for a chunkier texture, pulse fewer times.
Taste the salsa and adjust seasoning by adding more salt, lime juice, or cilantro as desired.
Transfer the salsa to a bowl or airtight container and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Serve chilled with tortilla chips or use as a topping for tacos, grilled meats, or salads.
