CHILI-TOMATO SAUCE
Ever wonder what kind of dressing goes on Taco Salad? I did -- until I found this recipe! It's a fantastic, deep, rich, red, full-flavored, all-around tomato sauce, perfect for any Mexican dish. Make a double batch, and keep some on hand :)

Steps:
- 1. Cook onion in olive oil in a heavy 3 qt. saucepan, over medium heat, just until golden yellow (not brown).
- 2. Add chili powder, garlic, and oregano, stirring a few moments. Then add tomato sauce and salt.
- 3. Cover and simmer over low heat 30-60 minutes, stirring frequently. If you want a smooth sauce you can put it through a strainer, or use a hand blender, but we never have -- we love it just the way it is.
- 4. NOTE: Choose tomato sauce for a thinner sauce, almost like spaghetti sauce, and tomato puree for a thicker sauce. If you don't have ground oregano, please whisk your dried oregano leaves in a spice grinder. You could use the leaves, but it's a less favorable result. 30 minutes is long enough, but I like to let it simmer about an hour.
