Mexican Chili Beans image

In Mexico, chili is made from vegetables, including various chili peppers, and seasonings. Chili con carne (with meat) has meat added, and chili beans have beans. We in the U.S. have generalized chili to mean almost anything with chili powder in it. I got this recipe 40 years ago from a Mexican lady that was almost my mother-in-law, and she was a great traditional cook. Learned by watching because my Spanish is a little lacking.

I'm not a big fan of chili beans, but this recipe was actually pretty good. The beans were tender and flavorful, and the sauce was nice and spicy. I would definitely make this again.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover chili. I added some extra vegetables to the beans, like corn and bell peppers, and it was a delicious and healthy meal. I will definitely be making this again.

I love this recipe! It's so easy to make and the beans are always so flavorful. I like to add a bit of extra chili powder for some extra heat. I also like to serve it over rice or cornbread.

This recipe was a bit disappointing. The beans were a bit bland and the sauce was too runny. I think it needed more spices or something. Overall, it was an okay recipe, but I wouldn't make it again.

Easy to follow recipe with delicious results. I used a combination of black beans and pinto beans, and added a bit of extra chili powder for some extra heat. Served it over rice and it was a great weeknight meal.

This recipe is a keeper! I've made it twice now and it's been a hit both times. The beans are so flavorful and the sauce is the perfect balance of spicy and tangy. I will definitely be making this again and again.
