Helpful hints

  • Chili powder burns easily so stir frequently and be careful not to let your pan get too hot.
  • Make chili powder from dried chilies or use store bought chili powder. Be aware, chili powder has added salt so sodium content will be higher. Omit the 1/4 teaspoon of salt if chili powder is used.
  • Sauce keeps for 1 week in the refrigerator.
