Mexican style chili recipes
Hey all. This is a total long shot and I don’t expect anyone to have the full answer for me but wanted to get some opinions from whoever feels they can provide some insight.
At an old job I worked, we had a chili cook off and a Mexican coworker of mine brought the most amazing chili I’ve ever had. I have no idea what was in it but if anyone has some chili recipes they can share I would be much appreciative. I no longer have this guys contact info.
What I do know: it was brown in color and more smooth in texture than chunky. I know it had bay leaf. That’s all I remember and I know that’s super vague but if there’s anyone who can help it’d be this community. I know he learned to cook from his mom but I’ve no idea from where in Mexico they were from.
Obviously I’m not asking for the exact recipe as that is impossible but if anyone just wants to share their chili recipe as well that would be amazing. It was not like regular American chili. It was much better than all the rest and just hit differently. I’m not sure how or why.
I did originally post this on the Mexican food subreddit and it looked like maybe a variation on chile Colorado could be what I’m looking for but thought I’d check here as well for any insight.
Thanks in advance.
