Best Chipotle Chili With Rice 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.

CHIPOTLE CILANTRO LIME RICE (COPYCAT)

Steps:

• Bring 8 cups water to a boil in a large pot. Add rice, bay leaf, and salt to taste (I like 2 teaspoons). Stir and return to a boil. Boil uncovered for 10 to 12 minutes (for me it's always 12, but some readers have reported mushy rice after 12 minutes, so keep an eye on yours).
• Remove bay leaf. Using a fine mesh strainer, drain rice and rinse with hot water. Pour into a large bowl.
• Stir in cilantro, lime juice, and lemon juice. Season to taste with salt (I like an additional 1/4 teaspoon). Serve hot or at room temperature.
• Bring 4 cups water to a boil in a large pot. Add rice, bay leaf, oil if using, and salt to taste (I like 2 teaspoons). Stir and return to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for 15 minutes.
• Remove bay leaf. Stir in cilantro, lime juice, and lemon juice. Season to taste with salt (I like an additional 1/4 teaspoon). Serve hot or at room temperature.
• Add rinsed rice (see notes), water (according to manufacturer's instructions, see notes), bay leaf, salt (I like 1 teaspoon), and oil if using. Close rice cooker, plug in, and turn on. Cook according to manufacturer's instructions.
• When the rice is finished, remove bay leaf. Stir in cilantro, lime juice, and lemon juice. Add more salt to taste (I like 1/4 teaspoon). Serve hot or at room temperature.
• Follow the instructions above using the following times: 40 minutes for Basmati on the stove top, 45 minutes for long-grain on the stove top, and 60 - 70 minutes for a rice cooker (or according to manufacturer's instructions). 2 cups brown rice makes 16 servings, 1/2 cup each (higher yield than white rice).

CHIPOTLE-PALE ALE CHILI WITH MEXICAN BROWN RICE TABBOULEH

Steps:

• Heat a small amount of olive oil in a large heavy-bottom pot over high heat. Working in 2 batches, sear the cubed meat, stirring occasionally, until nicely browned. Transfer the meat to a large bowl and add more oil to the pan between batches if needed.
• Add a little more oil to the pot. Sear the ground sirloin over high heat, stirring and breaking up chunks with a wooden spoon, until browned. Transfer to the bowl with the cubed meat.
• Return all the meat to the pot and add the cumin and salt and pepper. Stir for a few seconds until fragrant. Add the ale, tomatoes, refried beans, chipotle peppers and garlic. Season with another few pinches of salt and pepper. Simmer over medium-low heat, uncovered, stirring occasionally, until thickened, at least 1 hour. Keep tasting and seasoning with salt, pepper and more adobo sauce from the chipotles. Serve with Mexican Brown Rice Tabbouleh.
• Combine the rice with 4 cups of room-temperature water in a large saucepan and bring to a boil over medium heat. Lower the heat so the water just simmers, cover the pot, and cook until the water is absorbed, about 45 minutes. Remove from the heat and let stand, covered, 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine the lime juice, red onion, oil, garlic and some salt and pepper. Add the bell pepper, all but 1 tablespoon of the cilantro, and the mint to the rice; drizzle with the red onion mixture and toss to combine. Add more salt, black pepper and lime juice to taste. Garnish with the reserved 1 tablespoon cilantro. Serve with lime wedges.
