Carroll Shelby's Tomatillo Chili
This hearty bowl of chili is loaded with tangy tomatillos, fresh cilantro and a squeeze of lime. It's everything you love about a classic pot of chili plus more, and great for cool evenings, game days or feeding a hungry crowd with a stack of warm tortillas.
Ingredients
- 1 Carroll Shelby's Original Texas Chili Seasoning
- 2 pounds ground beef
- 1 1/2 teaspoons coarse salt
- 2 cups water
- 2 pounds tomatillos, husked, rinsed and chopped
- 1/2 cup chopped cilantro
- 2 teaspoons lime juice
Directions
- Brown the ground beef in a large skillet. Drain the fat. Season with salt.
- Add the 2 cups water and the chili seasoning packet. (To fix it mild, omit the cayenne pepper packet. To fix it hot, stir in the cayenne pepper packet.)
- Cover and simmer for 5 minutes. For thicker chili, mix the masa flour packet with 1/3 cup water and stir it in.
- Add the tomatillos and simmer, covered, for 10 more minutes. Stir in the cilantro and lime juice.
