Prepare Beans: In a medium saucepan, combine water and pinto beans. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat and simmer until tender, about 1 hour.

Saute Vegetables: In a large skillet, heat bacon drippings over medium-high heat. Add onion, green pepper, and garlic. Saute until tender.

Combine Ingredients: Transfer sauteed vegetables to a Dutch oven and set aside. In the same skillet, brown pork and beef stew meat until well-browned. Stir into the vegetables in the Dutch oven.
-
Add Beans and Seasonings: To the Dutch oven, add cooked beans along with their liquid, canned tomatoes, oregano, cumin, and chili powder. Mix well to combine.

Simmer: Cover the Dutch oven and simmer the chili for 1 hour.

Add Wine: After 1 hour of simmering, add dry red wine to the chili. Cook, uncovered, for an additional 30 minutes.

Season: Season the chili with salt and pepper, adjusting to taste.
-
Thicken (Optional): If the mixture is too liquid, prepare a tortilla flour paste by mixing tortilla flour with a small amount of water. Stir this paste into the chili to thicken it.
