Alright, My man is an Ortega fiend and since we went Organic/ Non-GMO, I haven't found an option for us. Then one day, duh, we can make it... Googled it up and ta da, life changed ;)
Taco Sauce/ Ortega Copycat
1 -16 oz. can organic tomato sauce
2/3 c. water- or less
2 Tbsp. white vinegar
1 Tbsp. ground cumin
2 tsp. onion powder
1 tsp. garlic powder
1/2 tsp. chili powder
1/2 tsp. paprika
1/2 tsp. sugar or honey
1/2 tsp. cayenne pepper
Smidge of sea salt
Shot of lemon juice to finish
Add all ingredients to a saucepan on low heat. Cook until slightly thickened. About 20 minutes.
Cool and add to a jar. Keep refrigerated.
I don't have a fridge shelf-life for ya, I use it until it goes funky which hasn't happened to us yet...
