Chef's Notes

Substitutions
Use your own homemade organic tomato sauce in place of canned tomatoes (even better!).

Oregano
If you have Mexican oregano or are able to find it, then use it for the oregano as it does have a unique flavor and is more traditionally used in Mexican dishes. However, if you don’t have or cannot find Mexican oregano, then using Mediterranean oregano will work fine as a substitute.

Storage
Store the sauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days or in the freezer for up to 30 days.
