This was easy and delicious! I did have the Chili Macaroni Hamburger Helper on hand so I used that flavor. I used chipotle chili powder so I eliminated the cumin and the jalapenos all together. Also I left out the green pepper since all I had for corn was Mexicorn which already has red and green peppers in it. I thought the sour cream was a perfect way to cool the heat a bit. Thanks for sharing, this made a nice lunch. Nick's Mom
