Notes

If you want to develop the flavors a bit more I suggest you blend the sauce and then transfer it to a pot and simmer for 15-20 minutes. But I will say I use it out of the blender usually and love the flavor!. If you have spicy chili powder start with 2 Tablespoons and go from there. Mine is pretty mild so a 1/4 cup isn't too spicy.
