Chili Con Elote (Chili With Corn) image

I claim this one is mine. (It bears no resemblance to what I started off with several decades ago). As with most chili, soup, stew, or sauce it's a lot better when made the day before and reheated.

Time 3h

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 18

6 slices of thick cut deli bacon, cut into 1/2 inch pieces
2 lbs chuck roast, trimmed of most fat, cut into 3/4 inch cubes
1 cup flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
3 onions, coarsely chopped
4 garlic cloves, minced
2 green anaheim chilies, seeded, veined, chopped or 1 (8 ounce) can ortega diced chilies
3 jalapenos, seeded, veined, finely chopped
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
2 (16 ounce) cans crushed roma tomatoes, with juice
3 tablespoons chili powder
1/2 teaspoon fresh ground allspice
1 teaspoon fresh ground cumin
1 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
salt, to taste
3 tablespoons masa harina
6 cups whole kernel corn, thawed (1 cup per serving, fresh or frozen)

Steps:

  • Heat a heavy dutch oven over med-high heat.
  • Cook the bacon until done but not crisp.
  • Remove the bacon and drain on a paper towel.
  • Pour off and save all but 3 TBS of the grease.
  • Place the flour and the first of the salt and pepper in a bag, add the beef, 1/3 at a time, shake to coat.
  • Brown the beef, 1/3 at a time (don't crowd the pan).
  • Drain on a paper towel.
  • Wipe the pan and regrease between each batch.
  • Wipe the pan, place on the heat; add 3 TBS bacon grease.
  • Saute (stir fry) the onions until almost translucent.
  • Add the garlic and chilies.
  • Saute until the onions are golden but not yet brown.
  • Add all of the ingredients except the Masa Harina and the corn; mix well.
  • Return the bacon and beef to the pot.
  • Cover and bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer 2 hours.
  • Mix the Masa Harina with 1/2 cup of cold water, add to the pot, stir well.
  • Cook another 1/2 hour to thicken.
  • Place 1 cup of corn in each bowl and top with chili. (That's all the cooking the corn gets, it's just lightly steamed). Serve with a loose leaf lettuce salad, dressed with lime juice and hot, buttered, corn tortillas.

This chili was a bit too spicy for me, but it was still very good. I think next time I'll use less chipotle peppers.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my chili turned out bland. I think I might have used old spices, so that could be the reason. I'll try it again with fresh spices next time.

This chili was a bit too spicy for my taste, but otherwise it was very good. I think next time I'll use less chipotle peppers or omit them altogether.

Just tried this recipe and it was a hit! The corn added a nice sweetness to the chili, and the chipotle peppers gave it a nice kick. I also added some shredded chicken for extra protein. Yum!

This chili con elote was absolutely divine! The combination of sweet corn and savory chili was perfect, and the smokiness from the chipotle peppers added a lovely depth of flavor. I followed the recipe exactly and it turned out perfectly. Will defini
