Analyzing cooking steps...
To get a good brown crust on the ground beef, let it cook undisturbed on one side before breaking it up. This prevents the meat from steaming.
If you don't have Ro-Tel, you can use regular canned diced tomatoes and a can of diced green chiles.
The masa harina acts as a thickener and adds a nice corn flavor. If you don't have it, a flour-based roux or regular cornmeal can be used as a substitute.
Letting the chili simmer for at least 30 minutes is key to developing a deep, rich flavor. It tastes even better the next day.
Feel free to use different types of beans like pinto or kidney beans, or even a mix.
