MEXICAN BEEF CHILI



Mexican Beef Chili image

From "The Essential Rice Cookbook." This is a hearty meal that could also be used as a side. I have tried substituting pork instead of beef, but it really needs the deep flavor of red meat. Also, it isn't very spicy, so you may want to add more spice. Serve with sour cream and warm flour tortillas, or just eat it from a bowl.

MEXICAN CHILI BEANS



Mexican Chili Beans image

In Mexico, chili is made from vegetables, including various chili peppers, and seasonings. Chili con carne (with meat) has meat added, and chili beans have beans. We in the U.S. have generalized chili to mean almost anything with chili powder in it. I got this recipe 40 years ago from a Mexican lady that was almost my mother-in-law, and she was a great traditional cook. Learned by watching because my Spanish is a little lacking.
