  • Combine corn starch or flour, chili powder, and cumin with the simmering ingredients. Increase
    amount of chili powder if a stronger intensity is desired.

  • Drain the juice from the tomatoes, add the sugar, and then combine with the other simmering
    ingredients to create the sauce.

    ingredients; then freeze the sauce so that it is available when you are ready to assemble the other
    ingredients.
