I always get my ass jumped for not having recipes in my cooking threads, so I've decided to do one with the full recipe.
Chili is always a popular subject here, and the last time I did this one I got a lot of request for the recipe so here we go. First you need a good chicken stock. You can buy chicken stock or make your own. I do chicken bones I cut out of thighs and other things and then just some onions and bay leaves with some cilantro roots from my garden. 
 Then you need some peppers. When looking for dried peppers make sure they are flexible and semi soft. If they crumble they will taste like nothing in your recipe. My mix is 3 pasilla 5 guajillos A handful of arbol 2 ghost Chilis 2 or 3 anchos And 3 or 3 new Mexico Make sure they have a good flex and then remove the seeds and stems 
Pour a few cups of your chicken stock over the peppers and cover it with cling wrap. Let this sit for 30+ minutes 
Then you will need to toss some garlic cloves and Dutch cocoa powder (about 1/4 cup) and toss them in a blender with your peppers and the soaking liquid until you get a good paste 
After you're done with this you need to toast 2 tsp cumin seeds, 1 tsp of coriander seeds, and .5 tsp of peppecorns. Then grind them into a powder. 
Now we talk about meat. I make this with pork shoulder or just random cuts of beef. This was from the round of a cow I butchered over the winter. Trim off any silver skin or excess fat. Intramuscular is fine but you don't want any fat caps 
Cut it up into half inch to one inch cubes depending how you want to eat it. Then toss a sprinkle of salt and pepper on it. |

Now you need to brown your meat. I do it all in small batches with a tiny bit of oil. Shoot for a good sear on at least the first few batches. You'll want this to add flavor to your mixture.
Drink some good basic mezcal to start warming up the senses  Now you need to do a little more prep work. Dice up about 6 cloves of garlic, a few whites of green onions, a few sage leaves, and some Mexican oregano. Mexican oregano is much different than Mediterranean and I really recommend finding it. 
Toss all this together somewhere you can easily pour it out  Now after you brown all the meat you will want to put a little oil in it and sautee the aromatics you just put together. After a few seconds add some chicken brother to deglaze all the meat bits. 
Toss your meat back in and then top with 5 cups of your stock and a can of beer. Add in your spice mixture you toasted earlier. 
Let this simmer for 2 hours on a low boil |

After 2 hours you will add in your pepper paste.
I usually switch to some better mezcals by now 
Add some chicken stock to the blender to get that last bit of flavor out of it 
Toss it in, and let it all simmer uncovered for about an hour until it thickens and the meat gets easy to tear apart with a spoon. 
Now you need some tortillas. 
 And then I serve it up with avocado, cilantro, quick pickled onions, green onions and the tortillas.

Looks great, OP. Not many folks go to the extra effort to do it all the way right. I usually don't. Have you ever tried it in the oven instead of the stove top? I do pretty much all braises in the oven anymore.

You take the seeds out of chilis? I love the bite they add when they're pulverized in a blender. Aside from that, I gotta try this recipe.

I'll allow it providing you had a side of beans.
