Ingredients

• 1 pound ground beef
• 1 medium yellow onion, diced
• 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
• 28 ounces diced tomatoes (with juice)
• 15 ounces kidney beans, drained and rinsed
• 15 ounces black beans, drained and rinsed
• 2 tablespoons tomato paste
• 2 tablespoons chili powder
• 1 tablespoon cumin
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon cayenne pepper
• 1 cup beef or chicken broth
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 8 ounces tortilla chips
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (optional, for garnish)
• 0.5 cup sour cream (optional, for garnish)
• 0.25 cup chopped fresh cilantro (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Heat a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon, about 5-7 minutes.

Step 2

Drain any excess grease from the pot and return the cooked beef to the stovetop.

Step 3

Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the pot. Cook until the onion is softened and fragrant, about 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Step 4

Stir in the diced tomatoes (with their juice), kidney beans, black beans, and tomato paste.

Step 5

Add the chili powder, cumin, paprika, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to combine all the flavors.

Step 6

Pour in the beef or chicken broth and stir to incorporate. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and allow the chili to simmer uncovered for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Step 7

Taste the chili and adjust the seasoning with salt or additional spices if needed.

Step 8

Once the chili has thickened and the flavors are well-blended, remove it from the heat.

Step 9

Serve the chili warm with tortilla chips on the side. Top with optional garnishes like shredded cheddar cheese, sour cream, and fresh cilantro, if desired.
