Tips & Substitutions
For a spicier kick, consider adding fresh jalapeños or a pinch of cayenne pepper. If you prefer a smoother texture, blend longer or add more liquid, such as tomato juice. Substitute fresh tomatoes for stewed ones if preferred, or use fire-roasted varieties for additional depth. This recipe can easily be adjusted for personal taste by modifying the amount of cumin and sugar.
