There is no reason to buy taco sauce in a jar. It’s simple to make, quick to prepare, and it tastes great!
Ingredients:
- 1 Tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1 Onion, diced
- 1 Green pepper, diced
- 1 Red or green chili pepper
- 1/2 Teaspoon ground cumin
- 1/2 Teaspoon ground coriander
- 1 Clove garlic crushed
- 1/2 Teaspoon each: Salt, pepper and sugar
- 1 14 oz. can crushed tomatoes
- 1-2 Tablespoons tomato paste
Directions:
In a heavy saucepan, heat the oil and add the onions and green peppers. Cook until softened. Chop the chili (after removing the seeds) and add to the pot with the cumin, coriander and garlic. Cook for another couple of minutes
Add the sugar, the rest of the seasonings and tomatoes with their juice. Break up the tomatoes with a potato masher. Cook another 5 minutes until it thickens slightly. Add some tomato paste if you think it need to be a little thicker.
Alternative Method:
Do not cook. Mix all the ingredients together and refrigerate. You will need to let the flavors meld at least a couple of hours. The longer the better.
