Texan Chilli with Pico de Gallo
Texan chilli is known as 'bowl o' red', and you might be forgiven for thinking that the red colour comes from the use of tomatoes - maybe not by Texans, though! There are fierce debates about the key ingredients - tomato is a definite no (the deep reddish-brown colour comes from the use of chillies instead) and even beans are controversial, although we think they make this rich, sweet and smoky dish even more delicious!

Product Rating (2):
Wasn't really bothered to try this as we've tried many different chilli recipes over the years and thought we had perfected our favourite version. This was better. Definitely the best chilli we have ever eaten!
This was such a delicious meal. A little worried it was going to be too spicy but it really wasn’t. A really nice Friday night treat.
It looks delicious, Fiona - we're so pleased to hear that you enjoyed this dish! A perfect Friday night meal!
