Ingredients

  • 4 large tomatoes chopped
  • 1 jalapeño seeded and diced
  • 1 white onion chopped
  • 2 teaspoons Minced Garlic
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon oregano
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  • Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onion and jalapeño, cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
  • Add garlic, cook for 1 minute more.
  • Add tomatoes, chili powder, cumin, oregano, salt, pepper, and chicken broth. Bring to a simmer.
  • Reduce heat to low and simmer for 15 minutes until tomatoes break down and sauce thickens.
  • Use an immersion blender to puree until smooth, or carefully transfer to a blender.
  • Then the sauce is ready to serve and enjoy!

Notes

Use ripe tomatoes for the best flavor.
For a thicker sauce, simmer longer. For thinner, add more broth.
Jalapeños can vary a lot in spice level, so if you want extra heat, leave the seeds in. The sauce will keep for a week as long as it's refrigerated in an airtight container.
