Chili is probably one of the most popular and oldest one-pot comfort foods found across the country. You can find some form of chili on more than 75% of Americas restaurant menus. Chili has Spanish origins using southwest indigenous ingredients. Chili is a culinary prepared dish and chilies are specific types of chili peppers. Chili powder is a spice blend of varieties of ground chili peppers and spices. There are as many chili recipes as there are different types of chili peppers. Chili is as regional as it gets, every region and small town of the southwest incorporate the local indigenous ingredients which result in thousands of types and variations and distinct flavors of the final product.
