1 jalapeno pepper, diced
½ cup onions, diced
4 large tomatoes, diced
2 cloves garlic , minced
2 tbsp cilantro, minced
1 tbsp chili powder
2 tsp cumin

2 tsp Tabasco sauce, (I use the chipotle flavor)
½ tsp chipotle peppers, optional

Garnishes:

1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
1 avocado, chopped
¼ cup cilantro, pulled from stem
1 lime, cut into wedges

Instructions

For crockpot:

Throw everything except the garnishes in your crockpot and let it cook on High for 5 to 6 hours.
Dress with garnishes and give it a squeeze of lime (a must) and you're good to go!

For stovetop:

If you are not using a crockpot, sauté the garlic and onion in 2 tablespoons of olive oil before adding the remaining ingredients.
Simmer for at least 1 hour so that the flavors mix together.
