Notes

Detailed Preparation Steps
  1. Prepare the Tomatoes: If using fresh tomatoes, blanch them in boiling water for 30 seconds, then peel and chop. If using canned tomatoes, drain excess liquid.
  2. Sauté Vegetables: Heat olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Sauté the onions, garlic, and jalapeño until they become tender.
  3. Add Tomatoes and Spices: Add tomatoes, cumin, oregano, and paprika. Cook until the tomatoes break down and the sauce thickens, about 15 minutes.
  4. Blend the Sauce: Use an immersion blender to blend the sauce to your desired consistency.
  5. Finish with Fresh Ingredients: Stir in lime juice and cilantro. Adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper according to your taste preferences.
