Chipotle Beef Chili With Lime Crema image

This is one of the easiest and tastiest chili recipes I have ever made! With the modern addition of smoked jalapenos (chipotles), the inclusion of black beans and beer, and a stylish drizzle of lime crema, this recipe is a classic -- hot, hearty and filling. Compliments of Bon Appetit.
