1 (16 ounce) can tomato sauce
2/3 cup water
2 tbsp white vinegar
1 tbsp cumin
2 tsp onion powder
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp garlic salt
1/2 tsp chili powder

Stir tomato sauce, water, vinegar, cumin, onion powder, garlic powder, garlic salt, chili powder, paprika, sugar, and cayenne pepper together in a saucepan over low heat; cook at a simmer until slightly thickened, about 20 minutes. Cool sauce slightly before serving.
