Directions

Step 1

Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat.

Step 2

Add the chopped onion and bell pepper. Sauté for about 5 minutes until they begin to soften.

Step 3

Add minced garlic and cook for an additional minute, stirring frequently.

Step 4

Add the ground beef to the pot. Cook until the beef is browned, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon as it cooks, about 7-10 minutes.

Stir in the chili powder, cumin, paprika, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper. Cook for another 2 minutes to toast the spices.

Step 6

Add the canned chopped tomatoes, beef broth, tomato paste, and chipotle peppers. Stir well to combine everything.

Step 7

Once the mixture starts to simmer, reduce the heat to low and cover the pot. Let it simmer for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Step 8

Meanwhile, slice the zucchini and mushrooms. Add them to the pot after the chili has simmered for 20 minutes.

Step 9

Cover and continue to simmer for another 15 minutes, until the vegetables are tender.

Step 10

Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary.

Step 11

Serve hot, garnished with fresh cilantro.
