Instructions
- Cook rice according to package, set aside.

- To the browned beef in the skillet, add the onion, red pepper, orange pepper and jalapeno. Saute to soften the vegetables, around 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and stir for another minute.
- Add to the skilled, fire roasted diced tomatoes and its juices, corn, tomato sauce, tomato paste, cooked rice, ground chipotle pepper, cumin, oregano, chili powder, and salt and pepper to taste. Give a good stir to the ingredients. Turn heat to low, put a lid on the skillet and simmer for about 15 minutes.

On this Easy Skillet Texas Hash recipe, you say "See Note" beside the Chili Powder. I do not see the note. Is it important.
Eileen xo
Hi Martha, I fixed the note for the chili powder. I noted that I start with 1/2 teaspoon of chili powder. Add more chili powder if your prefer a bit spicier.
