Good texture, super juicy, but odd flavoring. It's not spicy at all. Imagine cornmeal with a hint of chili powder, but without any complexity that you'd get from stewing it with other spices. I think this would be better if you used a little paprika or cayenne instead of the chili powder. I will keep this recipe, but I'll be experimenting with the seasoning.
