   1 1/2  ts            Cayenne pepper
   1      tb            Mexican oregano
   1      tb            Salt
   2      c             Tequila

Heat the oil in a large heavy pot over medium-high heat. Add the meat
to the pot. Break up any lumps with a fork and cook, stirring
occasionally, until the meat is evenly browned.

Stir in the garlic, ground chile, cumin, cayenne pepper, oregano,
salt, tequila, water, and corn flour (masa harina). Bring to a boil,
then lower the heat and simmer, uncovered, for about 1-1/2 hours.

Taste and adjust seasonings. If desired, add the crushed chile pepper
and the optional hot pepper sauce and simmer, uncovered, for
30 minutes or longer.
