My New mexican mother makes outstanding chili (con frijoles) with New Mexican red chilis.

Personally, I have no objection to con frijoles.

My favorite are the Chimayo chilis. They have a smoky quality that makes them not only distinctive, but extraordinary.

“My favorite are the Chimayo chilis.”

Wow, you brought a tear to my eye and memories of home. My family has been chili farming in the Rio Grande Valley as far back as anyone remembers. We hail from the Los Lunas area near Isleta. I agree that Chimayo chilis are among the best in the world (it must be all that sacred dirt from the Santuario). With all due respect to Texas and their 2nd best chilis, New Mexican chilis in general have a distinctive flavor and uniqueness that is the taste of the southwest. If it ain’t New Mexican, it ain’t chit. lol
