Chili Ingredients

Method

Chili Preparation

  1. 1

    Sauté the Vegetables

    In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté for about 5 minutes until softened. Stir in the minced garlic and diced bell pepper, cooking for another 2-3 minutes.

  2. 2

    Cook the Meat

    Add the ground beef (or turkey) to the pot, breaking it up with a spoon. Cook until browned, about 7-10 minutes.

  3. 3

    Combine Ingredients

    Stir in the diced tomatoes, kidney beans, black beans, chili powder, cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Bring the mixture to a boil.

  4. 4

    Simmer the Chili

    Reduce the heat to low and let the chili simmer for 20-30 minutes, stirring occasionally.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Ladle the chili into bowls, top with shredded cheddar jack cheese, and serve with a side of corn tortilla chips.
