Instructions

  1. Step 1: Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add 1 lb ground beef and cook for 6-7 minutes, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon until browned and no pink remains.
  2. Step 2: Add 1 medium diced yellow onion and 4 minced garlic cloves to the pot. Sauté for 4 minutes until the onion is translucent and garlic is fragrant.
  3. Step 3: Stir in 2 minced chipotle peppers in adobo, 2 tsp ground cumin, 1 tsp smoked paprika, 1 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper. Cook for 1 minute to toast the spices.
  4. Step 4: Pour in 14 oz canned diced tomatoes, 1 can (15 oz) drained kidney beans, and 1 cup beef broth. Stir to combine and bring to a simmer.
  5. Step 5: Reduce heat to low and let simmer uncovered for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chili thickens and flavors meld.
  6. Step 6: Remove from heat and stir in 1/4 cup freshly chopped cilantro for a fresh finish.
