# Instructions:
01 -
Scoop some chili into bowls. Add whatever toppings you like—maybe lime, cheese, green onions, chips, or sour cream. Dig in while it’s hot.
02 -
Toss in your kidney and pinto beans. Let them cook in there for about 10 minutes.
03 -
Mix masa harina with about 120 milliliters water until smooth, then stir it into the pot. Add more water or masa if you want it thinner or thicker.
04 -
Pop a lid on, turn the heat really low, and let it bubble for an hour. Stir when you remember. If it seems dry, pour in 120 milliliters water.
05 -
Shake in cayenne, salt, oregano, cumin, and chili powder. Give it a good mix. Drop the heat down low.
06 -
Toss your garlic and tomato sauce into the pot. Give it about a minute on the stove while stirring.
07 -
Break up ground beef and cook it in a big pot on medium till it’s browned up. Pour off extra fat.
# Notes:
01 -
No masa harina? No problem—cornmeal or flour will thicken it, but the flavor changes. You could also mix a little cornstarch and water for thickening.
02 -
Making this in an Instant Pot? Toss in the diced tomatoes with liquid, seal it, hit Chili/Beans, and set it for 20 minutes under pressure.
