One popular legend tells of a Spanish nun named Sister Mary of Agreda who supernaturally appeared to Native Americans and provided them with the first recipe for chili that consisted of chili peppers, venison onions and tomatoes. Another old legend holds that immigrants from the Canary Islands brought a recipe for chili with them from the Canary Islands in the early 1700s when they settled in San Antonio. What we do know to be true is that it was a popular dish amongst cowboys and pioneers in the Western frontier.
