Preparation

    Add the chopped onion, minced garlic, and chopped bell pepper to the skillet. Sauté for another 5 minutes until the vegetables are soft.

    Add Tomatoes and Spices

    Stir in the canned diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, chili powder, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper. Bring the mixture to a simmer.

  4. 4

    Simmer

    Reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens.
