Instructions
- Peel, then cut onion into 1/4-inch pieces.
- Core, then cut pepper into 1/2-inch pieces.
- Roughly chop cilantro.
- Core, then finely chop jalapeño. (TIP: We suggest using gloves when prepping jalapeño!)
- Heat a large pot over medium-high heat.
- When the pot is hot, add 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) oil, then peppers and 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) jalapeños. (NOTE: Reference heat guide.)
- Cook, stirring occasionally, until veggies are tender-crisp, 5-6 min.
- Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
- Remove from heat. Transfer veggies to a plate.
- Reheat the same pot over medium.
- When the pot is hot, add 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) oil, then beef and onions.
- Cook, breaking up beef into smaller pieces, until no pink remains, 4-5 min.**
- Carefully drain and discard excess fat.
- Add garlic puree and Mexican Seasoning. Cook, stirring often, until fragrant, 1 min.
- Season with salt and pepper.
- Add crushed tomatoes and 1/2 cup (1 cup) water to the pot with beef. Stir to combine, then bring to a boil over high.
- Once boiling, reduce heat to medium.
- Simmer, stirring occasionally, until chili thickens slightly, 10-12 min. (TIP: If you have time, keep it simmering on the stove for longer. Chili gets better the longer it cooks!)
- When chili is done, add veggies. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
- Cook, stirring often, until warmed through, 2-3 min.
- Divide chili between bowls.
- Dollop sour cream over top, then sprinkle with cilantro and cheese.
