Michael's Mexican Chili posted by Ridgely to Recipezaar

This is my husband's recipe for chili. He worked hard to get ideas 
for the different ingredients from his friends from Mexico. He won his 
first chili cook-off with this recipe. Prep times does not include soaking 
beans overnight.

1    lb dry pinto beans  
2    lbs chorizo sausages  
4    medium fresh tomatoes, chopped  
2    onions, chopped (1 small, 1 large)  
2    cloves garlic, thinly sliced  
2    chili peppers, finely chopped  

1.  Let beans soak overnight in plenty of water.  
2.  Put soaked beans, 1 small chopped onion and 2 cloves garlic (sliced) 
into a large pot together with enough water to cover it.  
3.  Bring to boil and let cook until the beans are just opened and soft
(about 1 1/2 to 2 hours).  
4.  May need to add water occasionally.  
5.  In a large pan, fry the chorizo for about 8 minutes.  
6.  Add the large chopped onion and the 4 chopped tomatoes and 
let it cook for a few minutes.  
7.  Add the chopped chili peppers and salt (to taste) and cook until well done.  
8.  Mix the beans and the meat mixture well and put in covered pot 
with about 1 cup water (more if you like it thinner) and let simmer an 
hour or more.
