Chile con carne, or chili with meat, is one of the most popular Mexican or Tex-Mex recipes. It is basically a spicy meat stew with lots of spices. This recipe uses Chipotle chiles, a dried, smoked Jalapeno type of chile and has a great smokey flavor.

Refrigerating chili for at least 24 hours actually improves its taste and the extra time allows for the flavors to enhance
