Notes
Tomato sauce:
Canned tomato sauce is tomato puree.
Ro-tel:
I use the traditional Ro-tel. If you can't find Ro-tel, you can used any brand of tomatoes with diced green chilies.
Chili powder:
I like the smokiness of ancho chili powder, but you can use regular, too.
Tabasco sauce:
Or any other type of hot sauce.
