Reply #5: Gotta have some kind of chipotle sauce. Not much, but enough

[japple]

to give it that rich smoky flavor and add a little fire. Other than that, my recipe is basic: peppers, onions, (Laura's) ground beef, chili powder, cumin, salt, pepper, red beans or pinto beans. Sometimes I use black beans. We usually just eat ours plain with cornbread. My husband used to make corncakes which were just cornmeal, salt and hot water (let sit for 1 hr.), pat into little cakes and fry on a griddle. Crispy on the outside, chewy on the inside. I'm making myself hungry.
