Texas chili is overrated. New Mexico chili is the real deal. Here is a real simple "competition red"

1/4 cup red powder (Molida or puro is the best)
1/4 cup carribe or pequin
1/4 cup flower
4 cloves of garlic
1 lb of cubed pork or beef
1 tsp cumin
1 tsp salt

Brown everything over low heat. Cover with water, bring to boil, turn down and let it simmer for a few hours.


That is it. No beans, no tomatoes, but this stuff is good.
