How to Make Dragon Fire Chili
- In large fry pan or Dutch oven, place oil over medium heat. Add onion, garlic, mustard seeds and anise seed; cook, stirring, about 2 minutes or until onion is translucent. Add chicken and cook, turning about 10 minutes or until chicken has started to brown. Add beans, chipotle peppers, pasilla powder, chipotle powder, liquid smoke, molasses, orange juice concentrate and tomatoes; continue cooking about 10 minutes until mixture is slightly thickened.
- In a small fry pan, while chili is cooking, melt butter over medium heat. Add crushed taco shells and sauté until taco crumbs begin to brown. Stir in pecorino romano cheese and continue to cook, stirring, 5 minutes more.
- Divide chili evenly into individual serving bowls and top with equal amounts of taco crumbs. Place 1 tablespoon sour cream in center of each bowl and arrange 3 jalapeno slices around sour cream. Sprinkle each bowl with ¼ teaspoon of paprika
