I apologize for the canned chilis, I just love the taste of these, they are so easy to add to anything :)
Mmmmm, hot & spicy or warm and mild, leave out the cayenne if you must, but its so good!
I will post this technique for easy chopped avocado separately
Chopped tomatoes and avocado for the garnish
After the chili has simmered about 25 minutes
skin and de-seed tomatoes, chop and add to the pot
Spoon the cooked meat mixture into the pot
Add spices to taste
adding the ancho chili back to the pot
Scrape the skin of the chilis with a knife to get the meat of the chili to add back to the pot.
After cooling a moment you can remove the hard stems and seeds from the ancho chilis
Peppers and onion added to cooking meat
I forgot the celery!
add brown rice flour to the meat while cooking to make it nice and thick
I used very lean ground chuck to counteract the loads of beef fat added to the beans
