We like cilantro. 

Unfortunately there were no ancho chilies at the grocery store so I substituted guajillo, and although I thought the heat level was barely medium, my wife couldn't do it. So we're going to have to dial that back if we make it again. Probably have to find ancho, and only use 1 rather than the 2 called for in the recipe...

Picture looks good bwar.  I like the idea of that recipe.

But I'd typically use double-triple the amount of reconstituted dried chile for that amount of meat.  I usually use a blend of ancho, gaujillo, cascabel, and chile de arbol.

Dried chile peppers should be toasted on a comal or hot dry skillet for a minute or so, just until fragrant, before reconstituting. Or if you're doing a ton of them, a couple minutes in the oven on a baking sheet.

I also don't use chipotle in adobo, that adobo sauce is very vinegary and I don't want that in my chile (I do use chipotle in adobo for many other things, including just tossing on a sandwich).  When I want the smoked jalapeno flavor, I just use straight up dried chipotle and reconstitute them the same way I do all of the other peppers.

You don't typically see Texans topping a bowl of red with cilantro, although it occasionally happens.  But diced raw onion and shredded cheddar are quite common. And Fritos or Saltines in the bowl are also a staple.  Sometimes cornbread, too.

Yeah, I've made your brisket enchiladas, exactly to your recipe specifications. 

I loved them. 

My wife--who planned to eat those enchiladas--ate microwave popcorn that night. 

So if remaking the chili, I'll use fewer peppers, and less hot ones, and then have to supplement my own portion with hot sauce. 

Agree a little with the chipotle in adobo--it definitely gave it a bit of vinegar kick. I didn't mind that though.

You're right! Maybe we could add some avocado!

Cumin is a low annual herb of the parsley family. Its fruits resemble the related caraway and are similarly used in cooking. Drought tolerant and requiring long hot summers for healthy growth, cumin was originally cultivated in Iran and the Mediterranean region. It is mentioned in the Bible and was known to the ancient Greeks, who kept cumin at the dining table and used it much like black pepper is frequently used today.

Cumin is one of my favorite herbs.

I'm sure I've posted it here (probably multiple times). When I do it it's based on something I had in Taipei as an appetizer, so I have the butcher take a slab of spares and cut it into three (or four) long strips so when you cut them up, you get riblets rather than full ribs. 

They're rigoddamneddiculous delicious...

Obviously tons of comino in Texas, Tex-Mex, and Mexican cooking.  I keep a lot of it on-hand at all times.

Cabbage soup

Sautee diced onion and garlic 
Add  two cans of tomatoes diced
Add about half a cabbage cut up
Add a handful or so carrots diced or cut 
Add two bouillion cubes

Bring to boil and then simmer on low an hour or more, you can then homogenize it if you want with a blender gadget, or eat it straight.

I will add cut up cauliflower if we have some around.

Very similar to what I do, but I use beef stock and lightly grill the veggies before tossing them in. Good additions for protein are diced Polish sausage or ham.
