Ingredients

• 1 pound ground pork
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 medium, diced yellow onion
• 1 medium, diced red bell pepper
• 4 minced garlic cloves
• 2 chopped chipotle peppers in adobo sauce
• 2 tablespoons chili powder
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 15 ounces can of diced tomatoes
• 8 ounces can of tomato sauce
• 1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
• 15 ounces, drained and rinsed canned black beans
• 0.25 cup, chopped fresh cilantro
• 1 cut into wedges lime
• 0 to taste salt
• 0 to taste black pepper

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Add the ground pork and cook until browned, breaking it up with a wooden spoon, about 5-7 minutes. Season with a pinch of salt and black pepper. Remove the pork from the pot and set aside.

Step 3

In the same pot, add the diced onion and red bell pepper. Sauté until softened, about 5 minutes.

Step 4

Stir in the minced garlic, chipotle peppers, chili powder, ground cumin, smoked paprika, and dried oregano. Cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

Step 5

Pour in the diced tomatoes (with their juices), tomato sauce, and chicken broth. Stir well to combine.

Step 6

Return the cooked pork to the pot, and bring the mixture to a simmer. Lower the heat and cook uncovered for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Step 7

Add the black beans and cook for an additional 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.

Step 8

Taste the chili and adjust seasoning with salt and black pepper, if needed.

Step 9

Serve hot, garnished with fresh cilantro and a squeeze of lime juice. Optional toppings include shredded cheese, sour cream, or avocado slices.
