Cooking Tip

Yellow Cornmeal
The yellow cornmeal adds nice coloring. It would be ok to substitute white cornmeal for the yellow corn meal in this recipe.

Cooking Tip

Chipotle Hot Sauce
Simmer chilies, 1 medium sliced white onion, 3 sliced cloves garlic, 3 cups water, 1/4 cup cider vinegar, 1/4 cup tomato sauce, and a pinch of salt in a saucepan over low heat, until sauce is reduced to 1 ½ cups. Pour into food processor or blender and puree. Pour chili mixture into a medium size mixing bowl. Stir in vinegar and mix well. Strain through a sieve to remove seeds and other solids.
