I've given this 3-stars because, as written, this was VERY spicy and tasted mainly of chilis and water. However, I added 1 c. of canned pureed tomatoes to cool it down. With this adaptation, I found it still quite spicy, but much richer and tastier. This would bring it up to 4 or even 5 stars, in my opinion. I also left out the sour cream, so I could freeze what was left over. I put it on as a garnish instead. With the addition of the tomato puree, this made enough sauce to pour over about 15 - 20 burritos. I used the adapted version to make "Hefty-Defty Roly-Poly Weebles Wobbles But They Don't Fall Down Burritos" (#37673) "enchilado" style and it was absolutely restaurant-quality. Yum!
