Quantity Ingredient
1 tablespoon Canola oil
3 pounds Sirloin tip roast; trimmed, cut in 1/2\" cubes
2 tablespoons Mild New Mexico chili powder

Heat a large pot or Dutch oven until a drop of water quickly sizzles away.

Remove pot from heat and pour off excess fat and water. Then return all meat to the pot.

In a mortar, combine New Mexico Chile powder (mild and hot), paprika, chili powder, cumin, and oregano; grind to blend. In a blender, combine onion, garlic, chicken stock, and beef stock and puree.

Reheat the pot, adding contents from blender, and bring to a low boil.

Add Tabasco, salt substitute, cola beverage, and 2 drops of salsa/sauce habanero. Stir in and taste;if not hot enough, add a drop or 2 more of salsa habanero. Serve "hot from the pot."

* TIP: Do not stir the the pot: if you stir chili too much, the meat becomes tough and you lose some of the spice flavors.
