Chili con carne is a Mexican dish that is made of ground beef or chicken then seasoned with chili powder. The chili powder I am talking about is a spice blend that contains spices like cumin, paprika, oregano, cayenne, and coriander. So don’t confuse chili powder with pure powdered chili pepper.
Chili con carne is a versatile dish that you can top it on your taco, burrito, or even over rice.
