In the late 1800s, the chilli queens of San Antonio created chilli con carne. They entertained the plaza and supported their families in a time when women weren't supposed to. I created this 'Smokey Chilli' to inspire people to also do something that isn't supposed to be: a delicious chilli sin carne. The secret ingredient is coffee, you won’t taste it at the end, but it is an essential ingredient to get the ‘smokey’ taste. One of the recipes of the Fork Ranger book.
