Required Kitchen Tools

To make the perfect homemade Zantigo Chilito, here are the tools I use:
  • Large skillet or pot – For browning the beef and simmering the chili mixture.
  • Wooden spoon – Ideal for stirring and breaking up the beef as it cooks.
  • Measuring cups & spoons – To keep spice levels just right.
  • Simmer pot lid – Helps the chili cook evenly.
  • Microwave or oven – For warming the tortillas before assembly.
