Chile judges will be evaluating the Following:
TASTE: Taste, above all else is the most important factor. The taste should consist of the combination of the meat, peppers, spices, etc, with no particular ingredient being dominant, but rather a blend of the flavors.
CONSISTENCY: Chile must have a good ratio between sauce and meat. It should not be dry, watery, grainy, lumpy, or greasy.
AROMA: Chile should smell good. This also indicates what is in store when you taste it.
COLOR: Chile should look appetizing. Reddish brown is generally accepted as good.
BITE: Bite or after taste is the heat created by the various type of chile peppers and chile spices.
*Vegan, Organic and vegetarian recipes are welcome but will be judged collectively with traditional recipes.
