I did so because I'd made a test batch of the recipe, and the general consensus by those who'd tried it was that it didn't lose too much in terms of flavor by making the switch.
(I *did* use the various spices called for, I just didn't dry-roast the ancho chilies and grind them up.) I also did not include as much of the chipotle peppers in adobo as called for because I wanted to make sure that those with WASP taste buds ( like me 😂) could handle a milder heat.
Even with those changes, I still won, and I was up against some stiff competition, including a very smoky venison chili that was so interesting and different I was sure it would win. But one of my coworkers who was a judge came up to me later and told me he had judged in a statewide chili cook-off before and mine would have won that contest in his opinion. High praise!

The punchline is that the grand prize was a $50 gift card to…Chili's. 😂 (not exactly my favorite chain restaurant; I would have preferred the cash instead. 🤣)

I remember as a kid (1969), making hamburger patties for my mom, every now and popping a piece in my mouth, and it was good! (remember there is steak tartare) At any rate, in the 90’s I had my own children, and remembered when I was a kid and popping hamburger in my mouth. So then I tried it, and it was gross. Not because I was an adult, but because the hamburger meat had changed. And then in recipes when they say to brown your ground beef, you couldn’t. It was gray, dry and tough, and a lot of watery grease was left at the bottom. So I thank you. Lan Lam for this presentation and understanding how to bring back flavor to our dishes.

Let me tell you it was LIFE CHANGING. So tender and juicy, zero chewiness. The whole fam was blown away!
So I have a new routine for taco night now!

It's fine, I guess, it's just hard to unsee once you see it.

No, usually I start with the onion?

Video – "first we'll cook some onion,"

Ah there we go.
