HEARTY TEX-MEX CHILI SOUP



Hearty Tex-Mex Chili Soup image

This is a fantastic soup! It's easy and it's a one pan meal. I like to switch types of beans, kidney, black, pinto, even black eyed. You can make it hotter, or use less pepper sauce for milder. I like to use the hot pepper flakes when I make mine. I hope you will enjoy this chili soup, and that you make it often.

BEAN & CHEESE BURRITOS W/ TEX-MEX CHILI SAUCE



Bean & Cheese Burritos W/ Tex-Mex Chili Sauce image

I'm addicted to Tex Mex, and it's slowly but surely clogging my arteries. I'm told these are called "wet burritos," although I have yet to find a Tex Mex restaurant that calls them that. Anyhow, here's my lower in fat version of a dish I simply can't live without. You can use pre-prepared beans and rice or give it your own flair by making them from scratch. Add or omit ingredients as you like to create your own perfect burrito!

TEX-MEX CHILI MAC



Tex-Mex Chili Mac image

This is a great casual dinner served with cornbread and beer. Be sure and offer chopped cilantro, diced red onions, and sour cream as toppings. For more flavor you can sub chilis in adobo for the Rotel tomatoes. Any small pasta noodle will do like elbow or penne. For the cheese, I like a mixture of extra-sharp cheddar and pepper jack.

SPICY TEX-MEX CHILI SOUP



Spicy Tex-Mex Chili Soup image

Make this as spicy as you like by adjusting the dried chili pepper flakes and jalapeno amounts, my family likes extreme heat so I use 2 jalapeno peppers --- for even more flavor add in a small bottle of taco sauce and cumin powder if desired --- all amounts may be adjusted to taste --- I strongly suggest to make this soup a day or 2 days in advance the flavors will intensify, refrigerate then warm on top of the stove, all that is needed with this soup is a loaf of crusty bread :)

Cheese & Onion Enchiladas with Tex-Mex Chili Gravy Recipe - (4.3/5) image

Provided by Foodiewife

Number Of Ingredients 15

CHILI GRAVY:
3 tablespoons Canola oil
1/4 cup flour
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 teaspoon powdered garlic
2 teaspoons ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano (Mexican oregano is preferred if it's available)
2 tablespoon chile powder (either homemade or a dark brand such as Gebhardt's or Whole Foods)
2 cups chicken broth or water
CHEESE ENCHILADAS:
6 corn tortillas
12 Kraft American 2% Cheese singles (or velveeta for TexMex authenticity)
1 medium onion, diced
2 cups chili gravy

Steps:

  • Chili gravy: Heat oil in a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Stir in flour and continue stirring for 3 to 4 minutes, or until it makes a light brown roux. Add remaining dry ingredients and continue to cook for 1 minute, constantly stirring and blending ingredients. Add chicken broth, mixing and stirring until the sauce thickens. Turn heat to low and let sauce simmer for 15 minutes. May add water, or chicken broth, to adjust thickness, if necessary. Enchiladas: Preheat oven to 450°F. Pour 1 to 2 tablespoons oil in a small or medium skillet and heat tortillas, one at a time, on each side. Layer on plate and blot with paper towels. Pour 1/2 cup chili gravy in 7-x9inch baking pan. Put 1/4 cup cheese and 1tablespoon onion in center of each tortilla, roll up, and place, seam-side down, in baking dish. Pour remaining chili gravy over rolled tortillas, top with remaining cheese & onions. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes or until sauce is bubble and cheese is melted. Serve hot.

Tips:

  • To add depth of flavor to your chili, use a variety of dried chili peppers, such as ancho, guajillo, and pasilla. You can also use a combination of ground beef and ground pork for a richer flavor.
  • If you want a spicier chili, add more cayenne pepper or chopped jalapeños. You can also add a can of diced green chiles for a milder heat.
  • Simmer your chili for at least 2 hours, or up to 4 hours, to allow the flavors to meld. The longer you simmer it, the better it will taste.
  • Serve your chili with your favorite toppings, such as shredded cheese, sour cream, diced avocado, and chopped cilantro.

Conclusion:

This Tex-Mex chili is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal or a party. It is packed with flavor and can be customized to your liking. So next time you are looking for a hearty and satisfying meal, give this chili a try. You won't be disappointed.
