Method

  • Add in the rest of the ingredients, cover, and bring to a boil.

  • This is a great chili to serve for brunch with scrambled Large eggs and a Bloody Mary after a late night out with
  • "one too many."
  • This is a three-alarm chili, with the chile in the chorizo and the habanero teaming up to make a true chile-head happy!
  • At 10 on the heat scale, the orange habanero used in this recipe is one of the hottest chiles available.
  • You can use more or possibly less habanero to your taste or possibly you can substitute a milder chile such as red jalapeno.
  • If you use the habanero, my advice would be to use a small amount at first, taste the chili near the end of the cooking process, and then add in more if you wish.
