Directions: |
Directions:1) Slow cook in a crock or kettle.
2) Pre-grill or fry all the meat.
3) All the ingredients can go in the kettle at the same time with the exception of the tequila & lime juice. What I do is put all the ingredients into the crock, then start grilling my meat. I add the meat to the crock when it’s cooked. Stir & mix the meat in well.
4) Seasoning is the trick!………..I’ve been making it so long that I don’t measure anymore. I can tell you this, you will be putting in more chili powder than any other seasoning, next would probably be cumin & paprika. Experiment to get the flavor right. Sugar will cut into the “tomato” flavor & bring out a better overall taste, but don’t over sweeten.
5) Initially, I partially season the mixture (right after adding the meat). It needs to cook for an hour or two, and then tested to see how to proceed with further seasoning.
6) Upon adding the additional seasoning, test right away to see how the flavor is coming together. Let cook an additional 30 minutes then add the tequila & lime juice (mix well). Cook another 30 minutes. Best is to cook slowly, under low heat...overnight.
7) Test for flavor one final time prior to serving. Make any last minute flavor/seasoning adjustments.
Serve with sour cream, fresh chopped chives, extra sharp cheddar cheese, & San Francisco style sourdough bread. |
