Recipe Tips
🌶️ Control Your Heat: Start with half the cayenne pepper and taste as you go - you can always add more heat, but you can't take it away! The beauty of homemade 2-Alarm Chili is customizing the spice level to your preference.
🌽 Master the Masa: If using masa harina for thickening, always mix it with hot water first to create a smooth paste before adding to your chili. This prevents lumps and ensures even distribution. No masa? Crushed corn chips or cornstarch work too!
🥘 Perfect Your Prep: Pre-measure and combine all your spices before starting to cook - just like the original Wick Fowler kit. This makes cooking smoother and ensures you don't forget any seasonings in the heat of the moment.
