Ingredients
- 2 teaspoons olive oil

- 1 cup diced white onion
- 2 teaspoons minced fresh garlic
- 2 teaspoons ground cumin
- 1 can diced tomatoes in juice (15 ounces)

Instructions
Heat oil in a large sauté pan over medium heat. Add pepper and onion and cook until softened and starting to brown, 5–8 minutes.
