I finally found a recipe that satisfies my craving for Chili Colorado
! As my family and friends know me so well, I love this Mexican dish
! As a native Californian, I've been blessed with great Mexican foods that are so prevalent here
! San Diegans live so close to the Mexican border (about 45 miles). Some of our favorite Mexican restaurants serve this dish, it's a beef dish that's so succulent with a touch of savoriness yet, has a spicy kick but not too much of it...YUM
! My mouth is watering as I write this.But since the economy took a dive, I notice it's not available as much. And of course, I always want to make it at home. Thanks to
Sandra Lee from
foodnetwork.com, she has come up with a pretty authentic Chili Colorado that she names it Colorado Chili .One of my friends commented on my personal facebook post as I was making this. Saying
" This is s traditional New Mexican recipe too!" So that made my day
! As you can see, I've made my own version of a salt-free Mexican seasoning. Which I think is pretty good in my book
! Hope you enjoy a lil' taste of Cinco de Mayo everyday or as much as you crave it like me
! Enjoy
