- Ingredients:
- 9
- Yields:
-
2 Cups
ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 small onion, diced
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 3 tablespoons chili powder
- 1 tablespoon cumin
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1⁄4 teaspoon oregano
- 1 (15 ounce) can tomato sauce
- 1 cup chicken stock
directions
- Heat oil in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Add diced onion and cook until just browned, about 5 minutes. Stir in garlic, chili powder, cumin, salt and oregano and cook for about 30 seconds, stirring constantly. Sauteing your spices for a few seconds will give your sauce a fuller flavor.
- Add in the tomato sauce and chicken stock. Bring mixture to a simmer and cook for approximately 8 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Remove from heat, and strain mixture through a fine mesh strainer, pressing on the onion to extract the sauce. If I am making enchiladas or something similar, I'll add the reserved onions to my filling. You may discard the onion if you wish.
