I didn't have chili powder at the time I made this, so I substituted 1/2 the amont of chipotle pepper powder and it turned out awesome. Great recipe and it canned great.

I have worked for Pace as a picante cook for 30 years this is how you make picante - tomatoes onions, peppers, cumin and tomato sauce, drain before adding sauce, cook until tender and then can. Try this you will taste the difference. Good luck from Pace picante.
