1 teaspoon dried mexican oregano
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon salt

2. Place all ingredients in a saucepan and simmer for 15 minutes.
3. Pour into a blender one cup at a time and puree. Strain sauce through a sieve into a bowl, mashing with the back of a spoon. Discard solids. If sauce is too thin, place back in saucepan and reduce to the consistency of a thick tomato sauce.
