@ Asker I wonder if this might mean 'not fallen apart into crumbs, so it resembles minced (ground) beef' — which some people use when making chilli con carne?

like ground(minced) beef for chili

I think this is what it means.
Cook till nice and hot but it should remain juicy and remain in a patty form rather than fall apart into dry ground beef

agree Tony M : Yes, not falling apart into a heap of crumbs

nem ao ponto de chili com carne

I suggest this translation because Brazilian natives like me usually refer to "cook something until you have this consistency, no like this, not like that" as "cozinhe tal coisa até virar tal coisa, não ao ponto disso e nem ao ponto daquilo". Moreover, in Brazilian Portuguese, the term "chili" doesn't have an adaptation ("mozzarella" written as "muçarela") or an exact translation ("fried green tomatoes" as "tomates verdes fritos"). So, we usually refer to "chili meat" as "chili com carne" either to the sauce or to the dish itself.
I hope it helps you.
Example sentence:

Deixe ferver a carne, as pimentas e o caldo, mas não ao ponto de secar o caldo, nem ao ponto de chili com carne.

definition?

https://www.reddit.com/r/AskCulinary/comments/18u6ax/chili_m...

chili meat is generally nothing special. It is a coarse ground beef of varying quality and cut. There are no hard and fast rules about it's [sic] composition.

agree Tony M : OK, so that confirms what I thought: they are referring to ground (minced) beef, i.e. they mean the burger patty mustn't disintegrate.

yes, that's what I think. It has to remain juicy and not get too dry (and fall apart) like cheap ground beef
agree philgoddard : Tony, you should put that as an answer.
