This was tonight's dinner. It was really good and just
hit the spot. I topped my bowl with some sour cream,
homemade aji amarillo sauce, and some pickled
jalapenos. It was really good.

NOTES : Risa's notes:

* Red Lion is a chile company run by a man named
Charles (Chip) Welsh. His company is called Red Lion
Spicy Food Company and the line of chile powders is
called Better than Hot. I love his medium heat and
Killer heat chile powders. He also has a rub for bbq,
and some great salsas. You can reach him at
http://www.betterthanhot.com

** I garnished with some hot sauce I made with aji
amarillo chiles. You can use what you like.

** Chili beans are usually pinto beans mixed with
seasonings, in a sauce. I used Weis Brand.
