Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 500 grams Ground beef (mince)
• 1 medium Onion, chopped
• 1 medium Bell pepper, diced
• 3 Garlic cloves, minced
• 2 tablespoons Tomato paste
• 400 grams Canned chopped tomatoes
• 250 milliliters Beef stock
• 2 teaspoons Chili powder
• 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 medium Zucchini, diced
• 0.5 teaspoon Cayenne pepper (optional)
• 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and bell pepper, and sauté for about 5 minutes until softened.

Step 2

Add the minced garlic to the pot and cook for another minute until fragrant.

Step 3

Increase the heat to medium-high and add the ground beef. Cook the beef until browned, breaking it up with a spoon as it cooks.

Step 4

Stir in the tomato paste, chopped tomatoes, and beef stock. Mix well to combine.

Step 5

Add the chili powder, ground cumin, smoked paprika, dried oregano, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper if using. Stir to blend the spices evenly into the mixture.

Step 6

Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and let it simmer for about 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Step 7

Add the diced zucchini to the pot and continue to simmer uncovered for an additional 15 minutes, allowing the zucchini to soften and meld with the flavors.

Step 8

Taste and adjust seasoning as necessary. If desired, increase the heat by adding more cayenne or chili powder.

Step 9

Once done, remove from heat and let the chili sit for a few minutes to further thicken and develop flavor.

Step 10

Serve hot, garnished with freshly chopped cilantro. Optionally, pair with a dollop of sour cream or sliced avocado for extra flavor and texture.
