Directions
Cut chicken into pieces and combine with water in large saucepan.
Simmer 2 hours then strain off broth.
In 2 qt saucepan combine celery, tomatoes and sugar and simmer 1½ hours.
Boil chiles 15 min until tender, remove seeds and cut in ¼ in squares.
Mix oregano, cumin, MSG, pepper, salt, chili powder, cilantro and thyme with beer until all lumps are dissolved.
Add tomato mixture, chiles, beer mixture and garlic to chicken broth.
Melt suet to make 6 to 8 tablespoon droppings.
Pour ⅓ of suet drippings into skillet, add ½ pork chops and brown.
Repeat for remaining pork chops.
Add pork to broth mixture and cook slowly 30 min.
Trim all fat from flank steak and cut into ⅜ cubes.
Brown flank steak in remaining drippings about ⅓ at a time.
Add to pork mixture.
Return to simmer and cook slowly about 1 hour. Add onions and green peppers, simmer 2 to 3 hours longer, stirring with wooden spoon every 15 to 20 min.
