Chili Con Carne

Method

Chili Con Carne

  1. 1

    Cook the Meat

    In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spoon, about 5-7 minutes.

  2. 2

    Sauté Vegetables

    Add the diced onion, minced garlic, and diced red bell pepper to the pot. Sauté for about 5 minutes, or until the onion is translucent.

  3. 3

    Add Tomatoes and Beans

    Stir in the canned diced tomatoes and kidney beans. Mix well to combine.

  4. 4

    Season the Chili

    Add chili powder, cumin, salt, and black pepper. Stir to incorporate all the spices.

  5. 5

    Simmer

    Pour in the water, bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and let it simmer for 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Chips

  1. 6

    Prepare the Chips

    While the chili is simmering, arrange the tortilla chips on a serving platter.

  2. 7

    Add Cheese (Optional)

    If desired, sprinkle the grated cheese over the chips.

  3. 8

    Serve

    Once the chili is ready, ladle it over the chips and garnish with chopped cilantro before serving.
