Welcome to a warm bowl of comfort with a kick! This Spicy Chipotle Chili Delight will tantalize your taste buds with its rich, smoky flavor and hearty texture, making it perfect for chilly days or anytime you need a flavorful boost.
The star of the show here is clearly the ground beef, which provides a hearty base. Onions and garlic lend aromatic depth, while chipotle peppers in adobo sauce bring a smoky heat that sets this chili apart. Canned diced tomatoes and tomato paste build a rich, tangy foundation for the sauce. The combination of kidney beans and black beans adds texture and plenty of fiber. Beef broth enhances the overall flavor, making every spoonful satisfying. Finally, a blend of cumin, chili powder, and smoked paprika spices things up, while a sprinkle of fresh cilantro adds a bright, fresh finish.
This chili pairs beautifully with a side of warm, buttery cornbread or a crusty baguette. For a fun twist, serve it over a bed of rice or quinoa. Top with shredded cheese, a dollop of sour cream, or sliced avocado for extra indulgence.
Start by heating the olive oil over medium heat in a large pot. Toss in the chopped onion and garlic, stirring them around until they're soft and aromatic, which should take about 5 minutes. Next, add the ground beef. Break it apart with a wooden spoon as it cooks until it’s nicely browned.
Once your beef is browned, pour in the diced tomatoes, tomato paste, and the chopped chipotle peppers. Stir everything together until well combined. Now, it’s time to add the kidney beans, black beans, and beef broth. Give it a good stir to ensure everything is well mixed.
Sprinkle in the cumin, chili powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Stir to incorporate the spices throughout the chili. Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let it simmer for about 45 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
Before serving, sprinkle the top with chopped fresh cilantro for a burst of fresh flavor. And there you have it—a pot of spicy, savory goodness ready to enjoy!
