    Wow, this was better than I thought! I did modify a bit and added more water, 1/2 cup tomato paste, 2Tbs chili powder, and a tsp salt. Also served it with full-fat Fage greek yogurt & guacamole. Even my 20-year old liked it! Planning on using the leftovers to make nachos. Can’t wait! Thank you for the recipe! 🙂
