Chili con carne, which is Spanish for chili with meat, is a culinary journey to flavors inspired by Mexican cuisine. This is a delicious dish that would be perfect both as a dinner and as a lunch for work. Traditionally, the main ingredients are minced beef, chili peppers, onion, garlic and tomatoes, often beans and corn are also added. The tomatoes give the dish its red color and the chili peppers add their characteristic spicy flavor. Our version is served with cooked rice, but if you like, you can replace the rice with Mexican tortillas - both versions are delicious!
