Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 medium White onion, finely chopped
- 3 pieces Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 medium Fresh jalapeño, seeds removed and finely chopped
- 15 ounces Canned fire-roasted tomatoes, with juices
- 2 tablespoons Tomato paste
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 cup Fresh cilantro, chopped
- 1 large Lime, juiced
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat.
Add the finely chopped onion and jalapeño to the pan. Sauté for about 5 minutes, until the onion becomes translucent and the jalapeño is tender.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.
Pour in the canned fire-roasted tomatoes with their juices and add the tomato paste. Stir to combine the ingredients thoroughly.
Add the ground cumin, dried oregano, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper to the mixture. Stir well to ensure the spices are evenly distributed.
Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking, until the sauce has thickened slightly.
Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the lime juice and chopped cilantro.
Allow the sauce to cool slightly, then use an immersion blender or transfer to a blender and blend until smooth, or leave it slightly chunky if preferred.
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Serve warm over your favorite dish or refrigerate for up to a week.
