Chef Tips

- Use first-cut ground beef like patinho for a leaner dish or chuck for more juiciness. - Add a small square of semi-sweet chocolate at the end of cooking to deepen the color and complexity of the chili. - If you prefer a more rustic texture, lightly mash some of the beans in the pot with a wooden spoon.

Variations

- Spicy chili with jalapeño: add thin slices of pickled or fresh jalapeño pepper during cooking. - Vegetarian Chili: substitute ground beef with cooked lentils, chopped mushrooms, and double the red beans. - Gratin chili: transfer the finished chili to a baking dish, cover with grated cheddar cheese, and gratin in the oven.

Substitutions

- Ground beef: can be substituted with ground chicken, pork, or textured soy protein. - Carioca beans: use traditional black beans, kidney beans, or pinto beans. - Beef broth: substitute with homemade vegetable broth or hot water with an extra pinch of salt and paprika.

How to Store

Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. The flavor intensifies the next day, making it an excellent option to prepare in advance and take in lunch boxes.

Can You Freeze It?

Freezes perfectly for up to 90 days in plastic containers or bags suitable for freezer. Defrost in the refrigerator the day before and reheat in the pan stirring with a drop of water until boiling.

What to Serve With

Serve with crispy corn tortillas (nachos), white rice, fresh guacamole, and a spoonful of sour cream or requeijão. Fresh chopped cilantro and lemon slices finish with mastery.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which bean is best in tex-mex chili?

Pinto beans are the most traditional due to the firmness of the skin, but pinto or black beans work perfectly in the recipe.

How to reduce the spiciness if the chili is too hot?

Serve accompanied by sour cream, plain unsweetened yogurt, or grated cheese; the dairy neutralizes the capsaicin in the pepper.

Can I use beans I cooked at home instead of canned ones?

Yes, use about two cups of homemade beans already cooked and well drained before adding to the pot.

Should the chili have a soup or stew consistency?

The correct point of chili is a thick and dense stew, with the sauce well coating the ground meat and the beans.
