La Cocina Chili Colorado Recipe
Description
The recipe begins by browning ground beef in a skillet and breaking it into small crumbles. After draining excess fat, salt, garlic powder, cumin, caraway seeds, red chili powder, and paprika are added and thoroughly stirred into the meat. Water and tomato sauce are incorporated to form a sauce that the meat simmers in for 15 minutes to develop flavor and blend the spices.
The elevated quantities of chili powder and paprika create a deep red color and intense seasoning characteristic of traditional Chili Colorado. The caraway seed adds a subtle aromatic note that distinguishes this chili from others. The texture remains moist with a saucy consistency suitable for wrapping in tortillas.
This chili is intended to be served with warmed flour tortillas and any preferred toppings such as onions, cheese, or sour cream. Adjust chili powder to taste if a milder flavor is preferred, as the recipe advises.
