    I learned to make REAL West Texas Chili from the Son of the man who became famous for the Santa Rita #1 Oil Well. I was told to always cook pinto beans separately and serve them in a separate bowl. He used a mix of 3/4 lean beef diced & cubed with 1/4 young goat meat.

    Since it isn’t easy to find cabrito around here (no HEB’s), I just use all beef. And for his masa harina, I substitute « jar roux » which has the same contents and eventual taste.

    Another item he stressed was to always use freshly ground chili pepper mix, not last year’s.

    Yes, I prefer homemade corn bread over tortillas de maiz. We stock-up on the little yellow bag « HIll Country » yellow cornmeal from HEB every Fall. We do keep tortillas for other purposes.

    Beans are great, just don’t put them into the chili !

    Friend was quite the home cook « chef », he had even studied at Chef Paul Bocuse’s in Lyon.

    My error, I should have said “masa trigo”, I never learned Spanish. Sorry !

    From “Alter”:

    IN SPANISH "MASA" MEANS "DOUGH" AND "TRIGO" MEANS "WHEAT."
    My tablet kept changing harina so I just left it off as I was tired of changing it back
