Have I mentioned, I don't even think flour tortilla's are Mexican!! #tortillagate

 

[The Hot Pepper]

They were brought to the Americas (New Spain on the Isthmus of Panama to be exact) by Spanish Jews who did not consider corn meal to be Kosher. Hey they had to come from somewhere? A lot of Mexican food came from Spain, China, etc. But they are most definitely used in Mexican cuisine. Burritos are Mexican, called so for the burros that carried them in saddlebags and were sold by vendors.

My Grandfather came up from Mexico and he did NOT allow corn tortillas in his house. He always said that in Mexico, the poor people ate corn tortillas, the middle class ate flour and the rich people ate Wonder Bread. True story. (he said it not me lol) So yeah, there was never less than 3 loaves of that shit in his house. And poor old grandma had to make about a hundred flour tortillas every week for him.
 
At Christmas time, all my aunts (5), my mom and grandma would fill the kitchen for a week and make 500 tamales, 500 tortillas, Divinity chocolate and a rolled dessert bread called Potica. (The pronounced it "puh-tee-tzah"). Decidedly from Europe.

A video I watched said they had flour tortillas and spices not found throughout Mexico first in Mexico City, and that flour tortillas were a sign of success ... so, similar.

Yeah, Hogleg! Damm you!
 
Grant, As tempted as I was to use the smoke function, I didn't I only wanted to infuse the meat with the spices and I don't think that much smoke penetrates in 20 minutes but I'm not sure. My thought was maybe too much of a good thing.?
 
Okay THP, you are right. I must have summoned some half dead brain cells to remember that she spelled it that way. She seriously had zero education. She had beautiful cursive handwriting but she couldn't spell the word egg to save her life. Nice handwriting with ⅔ words spelled incorrectly. LMAO
 
The meat was done and falling apart. Dump all that meat and meat liquor into the pot of tomatoes and veggies. mmmmmmmm And don't forget the bone! I added about 2 cups of water to thin it just a bit. It's not thick (texas style) chili. Add a Chile New Mexico for good luck like a Mexican Bay Leaf. LOL. Let it simmer for about 6 more tequilas, and it's complete. SL would have me put it in an ice bath to cool it from 211º down to 38º in 15 minutes but yeah, it sat on the stove cooling over night. BOOM. Never killed me before!
 
So my first meal was this morning. Chili with a dollop of refried beans, Corn and Flour tortillas, fried eggs and a spoon. Whoa dude... I'm high on capsaicin, good food and love. HA!

And the Butt Machine does it again!!  Looks awesome Scovie!!

 
 

Hogleg named it.
 
It's a machine for you to put your butts in. Then it applies pressure and steam. When the butt falls apart, then you know it's done.

 
 

Pretty sure he was talking about you.

 
 

I want that NOW!!.... (the chile, not the butt machine)...

White bean chilli has been started today
 
3/4 canary beans and 1/4 Great Whites soaked over night....About 2-3 cups dry
A handful or 2 of some frozen corn
 
4 turkey necks cooking with the beans and no salt added bone broth
3 rotisserie chicken leg quarters deboned. (Costco)
 
Sofrito
Olive oil
1 stalk of celery
1 smallish yellow onion
1/2 a large red shallot
1 large Anaheim
1 tbs cumin
1/4 tsp sea salt
Pinch of Mexican Oregano
 
Seasoning
2 packets of William White Chilli mix
Probably grind up half of a dried Dreadie.
Some additional granulated garlic
White pepper
A dollop or 2 of sour cream near the end.
 
Beans and turkey necks are cooking now. Getting them mostly done then remove the necks and get whatever meat i can off them. Set that aside with the chicken. Meat wont be added until near the end. Finish cooking the beans with the seasonings and sofrito first.

 

[ShowMeDaSauce]

It looks so Innocent and mild.

 
Then you bowl it and it just screams to be eaten. I wont hurt you a bit. You can trust me.

 
So you dress that sucker up with a little cheese, cheeps and homemade ghost sauce and BAM.....Yeah, you get the picture.

Had to use some pintos. Ran out of GWNs.
 
Dusted with just a little Aleppo powder

 

[ShowMeDaSauce]

Ive been tinkering with some other powdas lately with chilli. Really loving Anthony's heavy cream powder and a dash of Rajahs garam masala to finish. I got Harmony House tomato powder too. It Makes it simple to boost the "tomatoey" without adding additional liquid.
 
Im reheating a batch i made 2 days ago in a crock pot today on low. Ground beef, ground pork with pinto beans. A little leftover country style rib meat and a little smoked neck bone meat were added today. That heavy cream powder is the bomb if you like chilli that looks like Steak And Shake chilli.
