How to make it

- Return to pan and add the tomatoes, tomato sauce, olives, cumin, and coriander.
- Cook at a low simmer about 12-15 minutes, stirring often, until thickened.
- Add lime juice and stir again.
Various Dish Options
- For easy empanadas, cut circles of premade pie dough in half, then fill each half with a portion of the mixture, top with shredded cheese, and fold over, crimping edges, well. Bake at 400 for about 20 minutes.
- For easy enchiladas, pour a lil spicy tomato sauce in the bottom of a casserole dish(or use a cast iron pan). Add filling to corn tortillas and roll. Place them in the pan over the sauce, then top with enchilada sauce and shredded cheese. Bake in 400 oven for about 15 minutes, until bubbly and heated through.
- For Burritos, roll hot filling into flour tortillas and fold burrito style.
- Serve all with Mexican crema or sour cream, guacamole, and fresh cilantro.
