Chili con carne is a classic Mexican dish usually containing beef, chilli peppers, tomatoes and beans. We wanted to add some more flavor to it, so we also added fresh peppers and corn, and you know what, we’re going to continue doing so!
Spices are also very important for this dish, so you can get that authentic chilli flavor.

Of course, you don't need to follow this, but have a try, it's quite nice.
