Make the red chile sauce: Heat 1 tbsp of the olive oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat until shimmering. Add the tomato paste and cook, stirring constantly, for 1 minute until it darkens slightly. Add the ancho chile powder, cumin, oregano, garlic powder, and onion powder and stir for 30 seconds until fragrant. Pour in the chicken broth and crushed tomatoes, add the salt, and stir to combine. Bring to a simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, for 10 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly and coats the back of a spoon. Remove from heat.
