1. 1

   They may have had their origin from old Mexican recipes, but since most cowboys couldn't read...or for that matter, cook very good, chili most probably got it’s start due to the availability of spices and other ingredients available in the area.

2. 2

   Tomatoes were seasonal and usually not available.

3. 3

   Chili powder was not manufactured at the time...

4. 4

   In a large skillet, saute meat in oil until browned.

5. 5

   Add water and simmer 1 1/2 to 2 hours.

6. 6

   In a small bowl, mix chili powder, salt, garlic, cumin, oregano, cayene pepper, black pepper, sugar and paprika.

7. 7

   Add to skillet.

8. 8

   Simmer 30 minutes...cooking longer will cause spices to lose flavor.

9. 9

   In a small bowl mix flour and masa.

10. 10

    Wisk flour masa mixture into chili...stirring constantly to prevent sticking.

11. 11
