Directions
Step 1
Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.
Step 2
Add the ground beef (or turkey) and cook until browned, breaking it up into crumbles with a spoon, about 5-7 minutes. Drain excess fat if needed.
Step 3
Stir in the diced onion, bell peppers, and garlic. Sauté for 5 minutes, or until the vegetables are softened.
Step 4
Add the chili powder, cumin, paprika, oregano, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to coat the meat and vegetables with the spices.
Step 5
Pour in the crushed tomatoes, kidney beans, black beans, and the cup of water or broth. Stir to combine.
Step 6
Bring the chili to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and simmer for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
Step 7
Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. If the chili is too thick, add a splash of water or broth to reach your desired consistency.
Step 8
Serve hot with your favorite toppings, such as shredded cheese, sour cream, diced green onions, or chopped cilantro.
