Brits Try Chile Colorado Recipe for the first time! [We Were Not Ready]!

Brits Try Chili Colorado Recipe for the First Time | Mr H & Friends 🌶️ Welcome back to our little kitchen! Today, we’re tackling something totally new — Chili Colorado! 🇲🇽✨ At first, we thought it was from the state of Colorado… but “Colorado” actually means red in Spanish — so it’s really Chile Colorado, a deep red, rich, authentic Mexican beef stew made with dried chiles and layers of bold, smoky flavour. We’re two Brits learning our way through American, Mexican, and Southern classics — and loving every messy, spicy, delicious minute of it. ❤️ 👨‍🍳 What We Made 1) Dried ancho and guajillo (“wilo”) chiles soaked in chicken broth for that signature red base 2) Chuck beef (UK: braising steak) — seasoned, floured, and browned in batches 3) Onion & jalapeño sautéed for extra heat and depth 4) All blitzed together in our trusty Brenda the blender 5) Simmered low and slow with garlic powder, smoked paprika, cumin, oregano & bay leaf 🔥 The result? A rich, comforting bowl of spicy beef perfection — warming, hearty, and absolutely packed with Mexican flavour. ⭐ The Verdict David: 9½ / 10 – “Romancing me in my mouth… doing the tango down here!” 💃 Nakita: 10 / 10 – “Rich, medium spice, and that crunch from radish is amazing!” Serve it with Mexican rice (we used shop-bought this time 😅), fresh lime, and sliced radish for that perfect balance of heat and freshness. 💬 Join the Conversation What should we make next?

Drop your suggestions below — we might try your recipe next! #ChiliColorado #ChileColorado #MexicanCooking #BritishFoodies #FamilyCooking #BeefChili #TexMexUK #FoodieFamily #HomeCooking We might not be Southerners, but we sure love the food! ❤️ This Chili Colorado recipe (or Chile Colorado, as it’s authentically known in Mexico) has fast become one of our favourite discoveries yet. It’s a deep, rich red chili beef stew made with dried ancho and guajillo chiles, slow-simmered until the flavours melt together into pure magic. Think of it as a Mexican beef stew recipe with that same heart and soul you’d find in great Southern cooking — bold, comforting, and full of love. Whether you see it as a Tex-Mex recipe, a chili con carne alternative, or simply a bowl of true Mexican comfort food, this one’s a keeper. 🇲🇽 We’re just a British family cooking Mexican food from our little UK kitchen, learning how to make Chili Colorado step by step and sharing every moment with y’all.
