I am a bit of a Tex Mex addict. From brisket to fajitas I'll eat it all. Probably should have married a little chicita from New Mexico or Texas. So I have been dying to make some authentic chili for a while now. My wife likes beans, and has no interest in real chili. She's like most of us East Coasters. Gotta have beans. Luckily she has been out of town with the eldest Fool offspring. But if you spend some time in the SW you'll find real chili has no beans. So here is a picture heavy thread on Tex Mex chili, and my first batch of savory goodness.
