Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
2 tablespoons vegetable oil or bacon drippings
4 cups onions -- finely chopped
2 garlic cloves -- minced
1 1/2 pounds boneless pork shoulder -- cut into 1/4" cubes
2 tablespoons masa harina
1 pound canned tomatoes -- chopped coarsely
5 jalapeno peppers -- split, seeded,
1/2 cup water
3 teaspoons paprika
1 teaspoon oregano
2 teaspoons salt -- Optional
1 1/2 cups water -- or more to control
consistency
1 pound canned pinto beans or red kidney beans
1 cup tequila -- Optional

Pour oil into a medium saucepan and saute onions and garlic
until soft and transparent, about 8 minutes. Drop pork in with
the onions and cook until all redness in the meat is gone.
Sprinkle on the masa harina and blend. Stir frequently to prevent
the meat from sticking, about 10 minutes. Add tomatoes.
Open and seed jalapenos. Chop coarsely and place into a food
processor or blender. Add 1/2 cup water and puree. Pour a portion
of this puree into the meat mixture and taste for heat. Add puree
to your taste, five is very hot.
Add paprika, oregano, salt and additional water. As the chili
cooks down it may need more water or it could become too thick.
Cover the pot and cook, slowly bubbling, over low heat for 1
hour.
During the last half hour of cooking add the beans and the
water they were packed in. Stir frequently to prevent sticking.
Taste for seasoning and decide if more jalapeno is needed or
salt.

There are lot of french guys around, quite proud of their cuisine, get ready for some flak

I am sorry, but anything ingested by the Unser family should have generous amounts of alcohol, so the tequila is not option, and is certainly not just one cup

Indeed. I keep my "farcis niçois".
