Notes
The secret to making this the BEST is by grilling the meat with mesquite wood chips before adding it to the recipe. Don't skip this step if at all possible!
Consider doubling or tripling the batch and freeze some for later.
Substitute the tomato paste with a 15oz. can of tomato sauce if needed.
