Ingredients
  • 1 tsp extra virgin olive oil (optional, see instructions)
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • ½ red onion, minced
  • 15 oz can tomato sauce
  • 1 ½ tsp chili powder
  • 2 tsp cumin powder
  • 1 tsp salt
  • ½ c water
  • Cayenne pepper or hot sauce, if desired, to desire spice level
Instructions
  1. Heat olive oil, nonstick spray, or a thin layer of water over medium heat and saute minced garlic and onion until soft.
  2. Add remaining ingredients and stir until well combined. Increase heat slightly and bring to boil.
  3. Once boiling, reduce and cook until desired thickness, approximately 10 minutes.
  4. Use as you would canned enchilada sauce or as a wet burrito sauce.
Notes
If you don't want small onion or garlic pieces, you can push through a mesh strainer or pulse in a blender until smooth.
