Ingredients

• 500 g Ground beef
• 400 g Black beans (cooked or canned, drained and rinsed)
• 2 tbsp Olive oil
• 1 Onion (finely chopped)
• 3 Garlic cloves (minced)
• 1 Red bell pepper (diced)
• 1 Green chili (finely chopped)
• 2 tbsp Tomato paste
• 400 g Chopped tomatoes (canned or fresh)
• 250 ml Beef stock
• 1 tsp Ground cumin
• 1 tsp Smoked paprika
• 1 tsp Chili powder
• 1 tsp Sugar
• 0.5 tsp Salt
• 0.25 tsp Black pepper
• 200 g All-purpose flour
• 300 ml Milk
• 2 Eggs
• 1 tbsp Butter (for greasing)
• 2 tbsp Fresh cilantro (for garnish, optional)

Directions

Step 1

Heat a large skillet or saucepan over medium heat and add the olive oil.

Step 2

Add the chopped onion and sauté for 2-3 minutes until soft. Stir in the minced garlic, diced red bell pepper, and chopped green chili. Cook for another 2 minutes.

Step 3

Increase the heat slightly and add the ground beef to the skillet. Cook, stirring frequently, until the beef is browned and fully cooked.

Step 4

Stir in the ground cumin, smoked paprika, chili powder, and tomato paste. Cook for 1-2 minutes until aromatic.

Step 5

Add the chopped tomatoes, black beans, beef stock, sugar, salt, and pepper. Mix well and bring the mixture to a simmer.

Step 6

Reduce the heat to low and let the mixture simmer for 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce is thickened and flavors are well combined.

Step 7

While the beef and beans are simmering, prepare the pancake batter. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, milk, and eggs until smooth and lump-free.

Step 8

Heat a non-stick frying pan over medium heat and lightly grease with butter.

Step 9

Pour a small ladle of batter onto the frying pan and swirl to spread evenly. Cook for 1-2 minutes until bubbles appear on the surface, then flip and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes. Repeat until all batter is used.

Step 10

Once the chili beef and black beans are ready, taste and adjust seasoning if needed.

Step 11

Serve the chili beef and black beans hot, topped with optional fresh cilantro, alongside the warm pancakes.

Step 12

Enjoy this hearty and flavorful dish!
