Chili. The real stuff.

[Quiganomics]

Chili. Real chili. The Tejas way. The way it was intended. No noodles. No beans. No tomatoes. Just meat and chiles. Hence...."chili".

3 lbs chuck roast seared before dicing into 1" cubes. Chili sauce is 6 anchos, 3 guajillos, 1 arbol, a chipotle pepper with adobo sauce, and a clove of garlic. Added some Make Shit Good and salt to taste, sweetened with a Mexican Coke, and some homemade pico de gallo leftover from yesterday.

Before its long simmer and reduction.

Reduced and thickened.

And served with some homemade tortillas and cornbread.

That is great looking chili. Likely a bit spicy for my belly these days, but it looks great.

Some nice Chile Colorado there. We usually do carne adovada ( difference is Colorado has beef and adovada has pork)

I'd eat that! Looks like the real stuff!!

Take the chipotle and arbol chili out and it shouldn't be too bad. My wife is a wimp in terms of spice and can handle this. She complains but still eats it

Funny, I just did my version yesterday. I use New Mexico, Ancho, and Pasilla peppers. I also add onion, jalapeos, dark beer, and cumin. Nothing like a good Texas style chili.

Man, I love a good adovada as well, made with New Mexico chiles, cumin, Mexican oregano, cloves, and garlic. Yum, yum.

I typically use pasilla as well in mine but the Mexican market here was out, so just omitted them this time. I get my onions and jalapeños from the pico, and I deglaze the dutch oven with a Modelo after searing the beef. Sounds like yours is a tad different yet very similar.

That looks awesome. I’ll take a bowl or two.
