It may. There are multiple definitions of chili. For starters a chili is a pepper (capsicum) of various varieties with high capsaicin content, what makes it spicy. -Chili con queso is a sauce (often called nacho cheese) made with cheese and chili peppers. -Chili con frijole (which often contains pinto or black beans) is chilis with beans. ----- [ not to be confused with frijole olla or refried beans which are different] -Chili con carne is chili's and beef, the beef could be machaca (a salted dried beef) or some cut of beef which has been shredded. Texas style chili is chili con carne, NO BEANS. -Red chili is chili con carne made with red chilies and often a tomato base. -Chili verde (green chili) is chili con carne is made with green chilies and often a tomatilla or a green tomato base. -Chili sauce is a sauce made with a tomato or tomatilla base and chilies. -Chicago style chili [at least all the versions I have tried] is a red chili with beans added and tends to be a bit more soupy than others, and is often made with ground beef rather than shredded beef. Chili con Pollo is chili made with ground or shredded chicken, OR chicken that's been roasted and served with a chili sauce, I've seen both. Needless, to say many of these versions of chili can also be used to make other "Tex-Mex" style dishes such as tacos, burritos, quesadillas, chimichangas, tamales, empanadas, and more.
