Top Secret Costa Rican Chili Recipe!

Well, don’t I feel like a fool. The other day I was mocking Costa Rican cuisine, especially regarding its lack of spice or, um… what’s the word? Oh yeah, “flavor.”
But, I’ve just come across this top-secret recipe for Costa Rican chili! Many Bothan spies died to bring us this information, so use it cautiously and guard it closely:

-1/2 cup vegetable oil
