Chili Con Carne and Beans
Chili Con Carne and Beans is a typical dish of Mexican cuisine, characterized by a tasty combination of ground meat, beans, tomatoes, and spices. Its origin dates back to the 19th century and since then it has become a classic of Tex-Mex cuisine. The recipe I propose is simple but flavorful, ideal for a lunch or dinner with friends. Try enjoying it with a side of corn tortillas and avocado.
