Ingredients

• 1 pound ground beef (or ground turkey for a leaner option)
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 medium yellow onion, diced
• 2 cloves garlic cloves, minced
• 1 14.5-ounce can diced tomatoes (with their juice)
• 1 15-ounce can kidney beans, drained and rinsed
• 1 15-ounce can black beans, drained and rinsed
• 2 tablespoons tomato paste
• 1 cup beef or vegetable broth
• 2 teaspoons chili powder
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 0.5 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 assorted optional toppings: shredded cheese, sour cream, sliced jalapeños, chopped cilantro

Directions

Step 1

Heat olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat.

Step 2

Add the ground beef (or ground turkey) and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon, about 5 minutes. Drain any excess fat if needed.

Step 3

Stir in the diced onion and garlic, and sauté until the onion is softened, about 3 minutes.

Step 4

Add the diced tomatoes, kidney beans, black beans, tomato paste, and broth to the pot. Stir to combine.

Step 5

Season with chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to evenly distribute the spices.

Step 6

Bring the chili to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.

Step 7

Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Add a splash of broth if the chili is too thick for your liking.

Step 8

Serve hot in bowls with your favorite toppings such as shredded cheese, sour cream, sliced jalapeños, or chopped cilantro.
