1/2 tablespoon masa harina flour (corn flour)

olive oil
-
1 large green bell pepper (diced)
Instructions
- Lightly oil the bottom of a 3-quart pot with olive oil and lightly sauté the onions, peppers and garlic. Do not brown.
- Add the ground sirloin and brown. Do not drain off fat; this adds to flavor of the chili.
- Mix all the dry ingredients and the hot sauce in the warm water and stir until well dissolved.
- Pour this seasoned water mixture into the meat, peppers, garlic and onions.
- Add the beans and the tomatoes and green chilies.
- Mix to blend all items. Bring to a gentle boil.
- Reduce heat and simmer for 45 minutes to an hour, stirring occasionally.
- Serve with bread or crackers.
- *** If you want your chilli a bit more spiceier try adding a couple diced up habanerro peppers seeds and all.
