Number Of Ingredients 8

2 anchos, reconstituted
2 guajillos, reconstituted
1/2 cup cilantro, chopped
1 pound pork and/or beef
2 onions, sliced
6 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon cumin and oregano
1 serrano or jalapeno, sliced (optional)

Steps:

  • Transfer reconstituted chiles with liquid to blender. Add cilantro and purée until smooth. Set aside.
  • Meanwhile, in Dutch oven, melt lard over medium-high heat. Add beef and pork, in batches, and brown on all sides, about 2 minutes per batch. Transfer to a plate as completed and set aside. Reduce heat to medium.
  • Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C). Add sliced onions to pan and cook, stirring, until softened, about 4 minutes. Add garlic, cumin and oregano and cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Return beef and pork to pan. Add reserved ancho and guajillo chile mixture and stir well. Season to taste with salt and black pepper. Bring to a boil. Cover and transfer to preheated oven. Bake until meat is very tender, about 2 hours.
  • Ladle into warm soup plates. Garnish with serrano pepper (if using) and green onions (if using). Sprinkle with cheese.

This chili is easy to make and it tastes great! I love that I can use ground turkey instead of beef to make it a healthier dish.

I followed the recipe exactly and the chili turned out bland. I think I'll add more spices next time, like garlic powder and onion powder.

This chili is a bit too spicy for my taste, but I still enjoyed it. I think next time I'll use less chili powder and more cumin.

I followed the recipe exactly and the chili turned out great! The only thing I would change is to add a little more heat. Next time I'll add a teaspoon of cayenne pepper.
