You will come to crave this rico chili stew when the cold weather begins to set in. I have several recipes of my own, but my favorito has always been this homemade chorizo chili-I think it gives a special Mexican toquecito to a Southwestern classic. A cup of steaming chili accompanied with cream, purple onion and queso fresco is all you’ll need to heat-up even the coldest of winter days.
