Smokey Black Bean Chilli
In the late 1800s, the chilli queens of San Antonio created chilli con carne. They entertained the plaza and supported their families in a time when women weren't supposed to. Hopefully this recipe can inspire you to also do something that isn't supposed to be: a delicious chilli sin carne. The secret ingredient is coffee! You won’t taste it at the end, but it is an essential ingredient to get the ‘smokey’ taste.
