Slow Food Foundation – All rights reserved – Cod. The classic ‘chilli con carne’ made with beans and minced beef is more of a Tex-Mex recipe. In Mexico, home cooks make carne con chilli for their families, using cubed beef or pork in a rich chilli sauce with or without tomatoes, with beans and or rice on the side. Serve this version with corn tortillas and any number of your favourite toppings. In the same frying pan, dry fry the tomatoes and garlic until softened and charred.

Set aside until cool enough to handle, then peel off and discard the garlic skins and quarter the tomatoes. Heat a tablespoon of lard or oil in a large flameproof casserole dish and brown one third of the beef. Transfer to a plate and then repeat until all the beef has browned, adding another tablespoon of lard or oil as needed. Add the cumin, oregano, allspice and bay leaf. 5fl oz of their soaking liquid into a food processor. Add the garlic, tomatoes, salt and chipotles en adobo and blend until as smooth as possible. Tip the paste into the casserole dish.

Add the browned beef and stir in the rest of the chilli soaking water. Bring to the boil, then turn down to a simmer on a low heat. 2 hours until the beef is tender. Check the water level a couple of times during cooking to make sure the meat doesn’t dry out. Add a little more liquid if necessary. Warm the tortillas and serve the chilli with the toppings on the side.

Add rice or beans if desired. The BBC is not responsible for the content of external sites. Read about our approach to external linking.
