Number Of Ingredients 13

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 onion, chopped
5 cloves garlic, chopped
2 teaspoons chili powder
1 teaspoon dried oregano
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon tomato paste
1 to 2 chipotle chiles in adobo, coarsely chopped, plus 1 tablespoon sauce
1 pound ground beef
One 12-ounce bottle beer, such as lager
One 14.5-ounce can diced tomatoes
One 15.5-ounce can black beans, rinsed and drained
Diced avocado, shredded cheese, cilantro leaves, sliced scallions and sour cream, for serving, optional

Steps:

Heat the olive oil in a large heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onions, garlic, chili powder, oregano, 1 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion is soft, 3 to 5 minutes. Stir in the tomato paste, the chipotle chiles and sauce, and cook for 1 minute. Add the beef and cook, breaking it up with a wooden spoon, until no longer pink, about 3 minutes.
Add the beer and simmer until reduced by about half, about 8 minutes. Add the tomatoes and beans and bring to a boil. Cook, uncovered, stirring occasionally, until thick, about 10 minutes. Adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper and serve with desired assorted toppings.
