Instructions

  1. 1

    Heat the oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add the beef and stir to break up. Season with the salt, pepper, cumin, chili powder, paprika, and cayenne. Stir and cook until deep brown in color, 10-15 minutes.

  2. 2

    Add the onion, bell pepper, garlic, chipotles, and a pinch of salt. Cook until the vegetables are softened, about 10 minutes.

  3. 3

    Add the tomato paste and cook until it darkens, becomes aromatic, and starts sticking to the bottom of the pan, 10 minutes.

  4. 4

    Add the chopped tomatoes, beef broth, black beans, and kidney beans. Stir to incorporate, then bring to a boil. Cover, reduce the heat to low, and simmer for at least 30 minutes or up to 2 hours.

  5. 5

    Ladle the chili over the fries and top with cheddar cheese, sour cream, and green onions.

  6. 6

    Enjoy!
