Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp Chosen Foods 100% Pure Avocado Oil
  • 2 Garlic Cloves, minced
  • 1 medium Green Bell Pepper, diced
  • 1 small Yellow Onion, diced
  • 1 lb. Ground Chicken or Hamburger, crumbled
  • 2 14.5 oz cans Hunt’s Fire Roasted Diced Tomatoes
  • 1 16 oz can Dark Red Kidney Beans (liquid included)
  • 2 16 oz cans Pinto Beans (liquid included)
  • 1/2 – 1 tsp Chipotle Chili Pepper
  • 1 tsp Chili Powder
  • 1/2 tsp Ground Cumin
  • 3/4 tsp Himalayan Pink Salt
  • Garlic Salt, to taste

Instructions

  1. Veggies: In a large pot, add the avocado oil and heat over medium-high heat. Add the onion, green pepper, and a dash of salt and sauté until the onion is translucent; about 3-5 minutes. 
  2. Garlic: Stir in the garlic and cook until fragrant; about 30-40 seconds. 
  3. Chicken: Add the chicken and season it with some pepper and garlic salt. Brown, breaking it up with a wooden spoon, for about 8 minutes and then strain.
  4. Simmer: Add the meat and remaining ingredients to the pot and simmer for 15 minutes on medium-low heat. 
  5. Assemble: Ladle into bowls and top with avocado slices, onion, cilantro and sour cream. 
  6. How to serve: Serve with a side of warm tortillas or crackers.

Notes

  • If possible, use all organic ingredients. 
  • Meat: You can always change up the protein to give this chili a different flavor profile. Feel free to use bison, wagyu, or even turkey. This chili is very versatile! 
  • Spices – FYI: Please keep in mind that chipotle pepper is not the same as chili powder. Chipotle pepper contains just one ingredient: smoked and dried jalapeno peppers. Chili powder, on the other hand, is a blend of spices typically including: chili peppers, cumin, garlic and oregano.
    • For this recipe, I like to use both of these spices. Sometimes I add more chipotle pepper and other times I add less.
    • Note: I used to make this chili with two, diced chipotle peppers in adobo sauce. I don’t use it anymore though, because I can’t find a brand without inflammatory oils or refined sugar. However, if you can find it then this ingredient would be great. (*If you use the peppers in adobo sauce, then be sure to omit the chipotle powder).
