Chipotle Fiesta Chili Recipes

CHIPOTLE CHILI RECIPE

Steps:

• 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.
• Add the garlic and cook another minute, stirring.
• 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.
• Add the remaining ingredients and give it all a good stir.
• 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.
• Serve in bowls with your favorite fixin's.

GROUND BEEF CHILI WITH CHIPOTLE

Steps:

• Preheat a 3 quart dutch oven or large sauce pan over medium heat. Add olive oil and allow to heat up and slightly smoke.
• Add bacon and stir frequently over medium heat until the bacon starts to get crispy, about 6 - 8 minutes.
• After bacon is slightly crispy, add the ground beef, salt and pepper and stir over medium heat. It will sizzle at first and as you stir it will temper the heat. Continue cooking the beef, stirring in the bacon fat an additional 6 - 8 minutes or until browned. If the heat isn't high enough it won't brown. After it is browned, place the lid on the dutch oven and drain the excess liquid from the pot.
• Slightly reduce the heat and add onions, yellow and jalapeño peppers. Stir for 5 - 7 minutes or until they soften.
• Add the remaining ingredients, stir to incorporate, and let come to a simmer. Cover and simmer for an additional 30 minutes, stir occasionally. The chili will thicken as it simmers.
• Add salt and pepper to taste, and add your favorite toppings.
