1 tablespoon cumin
1 teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon oregano
1 (15-ounce) can tomato sauce

Sauce Instructions:
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. Sautéing 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.
Keep refrigerated for up to one week. Makes approximately 2 cups.

Black beans, tomatoes, black olives, cilantro, corn
Bowl Instructions:Red Chile Enchilada Chicken:
