It is a tasty combination of flavors but a little on the spicy side. I made it as the receipe stated and in the future I would cut the chili powder in half. I used the potatoes instead of the yucca but I also put in the crock pot to meld the flavors more. I also would call it more of a soup than a stew unless you are going to thicken it with flour, mashing the potatoes didn't really thicken it up beyond a chunky soup. Definetly lots of great flavor!

I tend to like a little spice, but this recipe prepared as written is way over the top for me (my boyfriend finds the spice minimal. The flavors are really wonderful however and to make this easier to enjoy, I did make a few changes. First off, I used potatoes instead of yucca and added about half a can of black beans. I also used only a teaspoon of chili powder instead of a tablespoon. Instead of slicing the chipotles, I rinse off most of the sauce after removing the stem, and just toss them in whole. This way you still get some of that smokey heat from them, but it's alot less intense. I've found that alot of the heat comes from the adobo sauce (I won't make the mistake of tasting the sauce again This is all and all a great recipe!

I had to question the amount of peppers, chili powder and salt in the recipe. I cut the salt to 1 teaspoon instead of 2 teaspoons and used only 1 teaspoon chili powder instead of 1 tablespoon. I used 1/2 of a jalapeno pepper and 2 chipotles in abodo sauce. I used potatoes instead of yucca. Maybe the yuccas would help to tame the heat. If I were to make it again I would use only 1/2 of a jalapeno, forget the chipotles altogether and add the salt and chili powder to taste, and use 2 cups of corn instead of 1 cup. My husband likes hot foods, but he found this to have more heat than he likes, even with my adjustments to the recipe. He asked me if maybe I did something wrong. I don't like my food to bite back. I added sour cream to my serving to mellow out the heat and was able to eat the chili without having to drink something to put out the fire in my mouth.

If you have an "iron tongue" then make this recipe as it reads.
