Time 1h30m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

1/4 cup vegetable oil
1 pound ground beef chuck, preferably coarse grind (see Cook's Note)
1 large yellow onion, diced
1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and diced
4 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons chili powder
1 tablespoon ground cumin
1 tablespoon paprika
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 teaspoons tomato paste
1 1/2 cups low-sodium beef broth
One 28-ounce can whole peeled tomatoes, crushed
Two 15.5-ounce cans kidney beans, undrained
Sour cream, shredded Cheddar and sliced scallions, for serving
Tortilla chips, for serving

Steps:

Heat 2 tablespoons of the oil in a Dutch oven or large pot over medium-high heat. Add the beef and cook, breaking up the meat with a wooden spoon, until just browned, about 4 minutes. Transfer to a plate with a slotted spoon.
Reduce the heat to medium and add the remaining 2 tablespoons oil. Add the onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and lightly golden, about 10 minutes.
Add the jalapeno and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook, stirring frequently, until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
Add the chili powder, cumin, paprika, cayenne, 1/2 teaspoon salt and the tomato paste. Cook, stirring frequently, until coated and fragrant, about 1 minute.
Stir in the beef broth and crushed tomatoes and bring to a boil over high heat. Stir in the cooked ground beef and any accumulated liquid, then reduce the heat to medium-low. Simmer the chili, partially covered, until the beef is tender and the sauce is slightly thickened, about 30 minutes.
Stir in the beans and their liquid and simmer uncovered until the beans are softened and the chili is thickened, about 30 minutes more. Season with salt and pepper.
Top with sour cream, Cheddar and scallions. Serve with tortilla chips.

Time 30m

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 19

1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon chili powder
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil
1 pound chicken breasts, sliced into 1/2-inch-by-2-inch strips
1 slice bacon, finely diced
1/2 medium yellow onion, finely diced
1 clove garlic, minced
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
2 cups chicken broth
One 15.5-ounce can white beans, drained
1/4 cup canned green New Mexico chiles or roasted, peeled, seeded and chopped fresh chiles
1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon sugar
1/4 cup sour cream
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Sourdough bowls, warmed, for serving (see Cook's Note), optional
Sliced scallions, for garnish

Steps:

For the spice mix: Combine the cumin, chili powder, salt, pepper and oregano in a small bowl. Set aside.
For the chili: Heat a medium pot or Dutch oven over high heat for 1 to 2 minutes. Add the oil. Add the chicken breast. Sear on all sides until browned but not cooked through, about 3 minutes. Remove from the pot with a slotted spoon and set aside.
Add the bacon to the same pot and cook, stirring, until rendered and lightly browned, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the onions and garlic and reduce the heat to medium. Cook, stirring, until the onions are translucent, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the spice mix and stir until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
Stir in the flour until it's mixed and forms a roux, about 1 minute. Whisk in the chicken broth, whisking until no lumps remain. Raise the heat to high and stir in the beans, roasted chiles, sugar and the cooked chicken. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat until the mixture simmers. Simmer, stirring occasionally, until the chili is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon and the chicken is cooked through, 10 to 15 minutes.
Stir in the sour cream. Taste and adjust the seasonings. Ladle into the sourdough bowls if using. Serve garnished with scallions.
