cook for 1 more minute. Add bell peppers, chili
powder, cumin, red pepper flakes, cayenne and
salt. Cook for 1 minute. Crush the tomatoes by
hand or in batches in a food processor fitted

make it again. "I made
half a recipe and it made a TON! We enjoyed this for several days.
My kiddo liked it as a 'dip' for tortilla chips."

"It
still tastes great if you use the cheaper canned tomatoes, and about 1
tsp. of dried basil. We're not all rolling in dough!"
