Chipotle Chili Recipe

🧂 Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1.5 pound ground turkey or ground beef

  I’m using a combination of both
• 1 large onion chopped
• 1 jalapeno pepper

  chopped
• 1 poblano pepper

  chopped
• 1 hot chili pepper

  chopped (for a spicier version – try a habanero or ghost pepper – optional for a nice and extra spicy chili)
• 4 cloves garlic chopped
• 2 cans red kidney beans
• 3 cans fire roasted tomatoes

  42 ounces, or use equivalent fresh
• 2 tablespoons chili powder

  I like to use a blend of ancho and guajillo powder, but use your favorite blend, or try this homemade chili powder blend [https://www.chilipeppermadness.com/recipes/chili-powder/]
• 1 7- ounce can chipotles in adobo sauce

  use half the can for a milder chipotle flavor
• 1 teaspoon freshly ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon red chili flakes
• Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

• 1 Heat the oil in a large pot to medium-high heat and add the ground turkey (or
  beef), onion and peppers. Cook them down about 10 minutes, or until the meat is
  cooked through and the vegetables are softened.
• 2 Add the garlic and cook another minute, stirring.
• 3 If using fresh tomatoes, chop them and add them to the pot. Cook about 10
  minutes to let them break down. If using canned fire roasted tomatoes, just add
  them to the pot and go to the next step.
• 4 Add the remaining ingredients and give it all a good stir.
• 5 Reduce the heat and cook the chili on low heat for at least 1 hour to let the
  flavors develop, stirring every now and then. Adjust for seasonings if you wish.
  Alternatively, you can transfer everything to a slow cooker or crock pot at this
  stage and cook on high for 1-2 hours, or on low for 3-4 hours, until the flavors
  develop to your preference.
• 6 Serve in bowls with your favorite fixin’s.
