El Camino Ingredients

Method

El Camino Directions

1

Prepare Ingredients

Chop the onion, garlic, and bell pepper into small pieces. Rinse the kidney beans under cold water.

2

Cook the Vegetables

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, bell pepper, and garlic. Sauté until the vegetables are softened, about 5 minutes.

3

Brown the Beef

Add the ground beef to the skillet. Cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spatula, about 6-8 minutes.

4

Add Spices and Tomatoes

Stir in the chili powder, cumin, salt, and black pepper. Add the canned diced tomatoes and kidney beans. Mix well.

5

Simmer

Reduce the heat to low and let the mixture simmer for about 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.

6

Prepare Toppings

While the chili simmers, chop the fresh cilantro and dice the avocado. Cut the lime into wedges.

7

Serve

Ladle the chili into bowls and top with fresh cilantro and diced avocado. Squeeze lime juice over the top before serving.
