Time 1h25m

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 lb ground beef, ground turkey or ground pork
3 Tbsp chili blend (i like mexene)
1 tsp salt
1 Tbsp ground cumin
1 Tbsp onion powder
1 Tbsp garlic powder
3 Tbsp masa harina
1 can(s) tomato sauce
1 can(s) pinto beans
OPTIONALS
1 square bakers unsweetened chocolate
1 Tbsp chipotle chili powder

Steps:

1. brown the ground meat. I usually do a mix of turkey and beef. When the meat is nicely brown, drain it and put back into the pan.
2. Stir in the dry ingredients and cook for about 2 minutes.
3. Add the Masa Harina and cook for one or two minutes. then add in the tomato sauce and add enough water to cover the meat by about 1 inch. Add the can of beans and simmer for half an hour. Serve with chopped onion, grated cheese, sour cream, tortilla chips and black olives if desired.
4. Change ups: Use beer instead of water Add in one half ounce of unsweetened chocolate. Add corn, different kinds of beans, hominy If you don't have masa harina. You can throw in about 6 tortilla chips when you put in the water, they will melt and thicken the soup. You really need the chips or masa because the flavor of the corn flour in it is exceptional.
