stewed untilthe meat is soft and he chillies very soft or almost dissolved.
Beans were sometimes added but not kidney or pinto(a modern mexican product)
but anastazzie beans.  These were found in the ancient cliff dwellings<

Yes, I've had the Anasazi beans, and they're very similar to the kidney or
pinto beans, just seem to take a bit more cooking. Actually, when I make my
(heretical) chili, I use several varieties of beans, depending on what's on
hand, as well as several varieties of chilis- it seems to give the chili a
fuller, richer flavour.

The World's Need

So many Gods, so many creeds,
So many paths that wind and wind,
When just the art of being kind
Is all this sad world needs.
