My ex-wife's mother is Spanish. They both make chili in a frying pan, and the beans are separate, in a pot. The "chili" is not thick. It has bits of pork in it and a small bit of stewed tomato, but it's mostly a clear sauce. You mix some of that into a bowl of beans and eat it with thick, homemade flour tortillas. The chili is almost always made with fresh, green jalapenos. Sometimes powdered red chili is used. Both are VERY spicy. The red chili is not necessarily spicier than the green, but it will do a number on your stomach if you're not careful. I don't miss much from that marriage, but I definitely miss this food.
