We gave it our best shot! El Rincon's Green Chili was really good, made just the same as past years, but the judges had a different standard. We didn't win the Judges Award or People's Choice in this years Great Sedona Chili Cook-Off. To us it seems some people can't get Mom's Chili from childhood off their minds or taste buds. But our standard for Southwestern "Arizona Style Green Chili" was a winner for all El Rincon fans, old and new. We want to thank our fans for their great words of encouragement and especially the "wow that's good" we heard from so many of you.
El Rincon Chefs Chaly and Luis worked hard for days in advance to bring three different chili's to the competition. Our winning El Rincon Chili Verde with Beef was the center of our entries in the contest. We also served our "Mango Black Bean Cold Green Chili," which was a great hit with vegetarians and people who think they don't like it hot. A new entry this year was our "Red Chili with Pork," made the old fashioned way with course ground pork and blended red chili pods. The Red Chili has a smooth, full bodied pork/chili flavor you don't ever get with chili powder. Then, of course, we served Mango Sorbet to cleanse the palette between tastings. We know this was one of our secrets to winning the last two years, but was copied by several competitors this year lessening our edge.
We take great pride in our part to help the "Imagination Library" for the Rotary Club of Sedona. The library gets a big boost from the record number of chili tasters who heard El Rincon was the restaurant to taste, because we won the last two years in a row. We are humble and know you can't win them all; however, in losing this year we learned valuable insight about winning next year. So, what can we say? "Congratulations to the winners," and look out! Because we'll be back! Muchas Gracias, Amigos
Can El Rincon win the Rotary of Sedona Great Chili Cook-Off three years in a row? Yes we can! How do we know? Because El Rincon knows how to make genuine Southwestern Green Chili. The absolute best in Sedona, if not allArizona. We don't make chili with kidney beans like Mom used to make. No way Jose! Our winning Chili is made with specially roasted New Mexican green chilies andArizonagrown organic beef. Can't get any better! So now, its up to you, our El Rincon fans to taste and VOTE us #1 again. Please come join us at the Cinco de Mayo Fiesta and Sedona Chili Cook-Off, Saturday May 4th, 11:00 am to 4:00 pm in Tlaquepaque, Sedona, AZ.

Giant Sycamore trees grace each end of El Rincon's delightful outside dining patio. Their large, three-to-five point green leaves create a marvelous, cool, shady canopy over our eight table patio. A huge trunk with marbleized hues of gray, brown and cream adorns the patio on the north end. These beautiful trees and El Rincon have literally grown together for 36 years. Our Facebook cover photo shows the north Sycamore tree today, and if you follow the time line back to our opening you will see a photo of El Rincon in 1978. Over the years this Sycamore tree has nearly tripled in diameter, doubled in height and is gradually encroaching on that corner of the patio.
The Sycamore tree is a symbol of perseverance and adaptation to one's environment. The Sycamore is an ancient tree being one of the oldest species of trees on the planet. Like the Sycamore tree, El Rincon has had the perseverance to hold on to what we do best - serving Arizona Style Mexican Cuisine. We have specially adapted our very small kitchen to serve an ever increasing number of guests year over year. Our goal is to insure top quality and consistency every time you visit.
Next time you're sitting on our patio enjoying a great Arizona Style Mexican dinner in the cool shade of these ancient Sycamores, give thanks to Abe Miller for the foresight to build around them, and the currentTlaquepaquemanagement for preserving these masterpieces of nature all aroundTlaquepaque.
El Rincon's Chili Verde Recipe is a traditional style Mexican Chili. It can be made with beef or pork, and no meat for a vegetarian green chili. At El Rincon we use a lean, course ground beef. This recipe has been perfected for home preparation by our Chef, Chaly Ortiz. The hotness can be controlled by asking for fresh "mild" green chili's at your grocer.
INGREDIENTS:
1 pound lean ground beef
2 small/medium white onion -{ 1 cut in half, then separate layers, 1 diced}
5 fresh jalapeños cut in half - {cleaning out seeds will help for a milder chili}
2 fresh habaneros chili - {cleaning out seeds will help for a milder chili}
1 whole chipotle chili in sauce - {available at your grocer in small cans}
6 cloves of fresh garlic - {2 sliced, 4 whole}
1 teaspoon granulated garlic
1 tablespoon mexican cumin
1/2 teaspoon coriander
1 tablespoon olive oil
18-20 fresh Anaheim green chilies diced - {peeled and cleaned. How? Google it!}
1/2 cup fresh chopped cilantro
3/4 cup tomato sauce
1 cup water
PREPARATION:
Heat a six quart pot to medium heat with olive oil. When hot brown sliced garlic and diced onion ~ 4 minutes. Then add beef, cumin, coriander, granulated garlic and salt. Simmer ~ 12-15 minutes.
Meanwhile, on a hot grill roast the layers of onion, jalapeños, habanero chilies, 2 Anaheim green chilies, and 4 cloves of garlic. Toasty edges and grill marks are what we're after, ~ 8-12 minutes. When done place in sealed container for 10 minutes to infuse flavors. In a blender place 1 cup water, 3/4 cup tomato sauce, 4 roasted cloves garlic, and chipotle chili. Blend until smooth making sure garlic cloves are completely blended. Then add remaining roasted onion, jalapeños, chilies, etc. Blend until smooth.
Finally, add blended ingredients, diced green chilies and chopped cilantro to the simmering beef. Simmer ~ 7 more minutes, adjust thickness by adding water if necessary, then serve. Serves 6-8.
El Rincon's Chili Verde can be eaten alone, or used as a sauce over just about anything. Wrap in a tortilla for great green chili burros. If you like to make a chili stew, you can by using 2 pounds London Broil cut in 1" squares instead of ground beef. We hope you will try our recipe. Let us know what you think if you do! Nos vemos mas tarde!
