Place diced bacon in a small amount of oil or butter in a large, cold pot and fry. Add the onions and sliced ​​chilies. Briefly roast the bay leaves and herbs (just after the onions). At the same time, sear the meat in small batches (in a separate pan). Add everything to the pot. Deglaze with tequila. Add everything except the bell pepper. Add the bell pepper, sliced ​​into diamond shapes, to the pot about 30 minutes before serving. Season to taste with the spices, especially the chili. Like any stew, it tastes best reheated, so it’s great to make the day before. Unbeatable with buttered white bread. Follow with a shot of tequila to aid digestion.
