Today, I bring you a main dish of Tex-Mex food. Chili con carne, this food has become fashionable for years and I certainly consider myself a great fan of it. It’s not that I eat it every day, because the keto diet beats it, but every once in a while.
If you want to cook an interesting dish of Mexican cuisine at home, prepare this recipe for homemade chili con carne.
Homemade chili con carne is easy to make and basically consists of minced meat, red beans, and tomato. An excellent option to accompany with white rice or some nachos. Homemade chili con carne is well known in the United States. It is made in various ways depending on the state in question, but originally, all these preparations are very similar.
This preparation includes minced beef, beans and tomato. It is a recipe full of flavor and intensity and very easy to make. The spices and herbs also make it very aromatic and extremely tempting.
I bought the beans or black beans already cooked, so I just had to rinse and drain them, but you can buy the dried legume and boil it yourself at home. It will take a little longer but surely you will gain in flavor. In this case, remember to soak them the night before so that they soften.
