What are ancho chilis?
user
Ancho chilis are a type of dried chili from South America. They are similar to New Mexico and poblano chilis, but have a slightly milder, nuttier flavor. They are usually canned or dried. I’ve also read that they have a milder heat than New Mexico chilis.

Would they be good to use in chili con carne?
user
Sure. They’d be a good substitute for New Mexico chilis in chili con carne. If you like ancho chilis you can just use those, or you could use a mix of ancho and New Mexico chilis, to get the best of both.
