Description

This robust Mexican-style chili combines lean pork loin and beef brisket with a complex blend of spices, tequila, and beer. Slow-simmered for hours, the dish develops deep, savory flavors enhanced by masa harina and fresh jalapeños. It is a satisfying, protein-rich main course perfect for family dinners.

  5. Reduce the heat to simmer, cover, and cook for 1 hour.
  6. Add the masa harina and stir it in slowly.
