2. Add chopped garlic and saute for 1 more minute.
3. Stir in fire roasted tomatoes, smoked paprika, dried oregano, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
4. Top with chopped cabbage. Cover and cook for 15-20 minutes, or until the cabbage is tender. Add 1/4 cup water if needed.

Notes
If the cabbage does not release enough liquid during cooking, add 1/4 cup of water to help steam and soften the cabbage.
