Cooking Instructions

1

Sauté Vegetables

In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, and sauté until the onion is translucent.

2

Add Peppers

Stir in the diced red, green, poblano, and jalapeño peppers. Cook for about 5 minutes until softened.

3

Brown the Meat

Add the ground beef or turkey to the pot, breaking it up with a spoon. Cook until browned and no longer pink.

4

Combine Ingredients

Add the kidney beans, diced tomatoes, chili powder, ground cumin, salt, black pepper, chipotle pepper, and water or broth. Stir well to combine.

5

Simmer

Bring the chili to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and let it simmer for at least 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.

6

Serve

Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Serve hot, optionally with toppings like sour cream, cheese, or chopped cilantro.
