I'm both Texan and a Mexican.

It's good with and without beans.

Beans make it a far more substantial meal, and I wholly believe that cowboys would have used beans to stretch their fresh food.

Beans don't alter the taste, everything tastes like the spices. Beans don't alter the texture, everything feels like mush.

I appreciate where people are coming from not wanting beans in their chili, but I prefer it and believe it was historically accurate.

>not any better than Zatarains or Lawrys

Patently incorrect.

Lawry's is like salt, pepper, and a minimal measure of other spices.

Zatarains is better, but not enough to offend the gringo palat.

Tony Chachere's has plenty of cumin, cayenne, various chilis and the difference is incomparable.

Here you go, here's the trap thread about the tea.

The screencap is too big and I'm not breaking it down into 4-6 images (I tried 2 and it's still too big):

Of course, remove the spaces.
