"Food eaten quickly isn't food." - Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
Usually I drain and rinse canned beans. Not because there is anything wrong with the water they are packed in, but more because the liquid is viscous and will change the texture of most of the dishes I use them in. This chili is one where you want a thick texture, so there is no reason to drain and rinse the beans.
I love the taste of a good mole and this chili makes it simple for you to make at home. The prep time is only about 15 minutes and the hardest part is checking on the chili about every ten minutes to stir and monitor the simmering. This also keeps really well and is better the second day after it has had time to let all the spices blend together.
