Gran Luchito Smoky Chilli Con Carne
Gran Luchito Smoked Chilli Paste is an incredibly versatile little ingredient, but if we had to choose one dish for it, it would have to be a chilli con carne. It adds a smoky depth of flavour that works perfectly. A good chilli con carne is a great thing to have in your repertoire, and there's loads of ways to serve it besides simply in a bowl with tortilla chips.
