ONE RECIPE, TWO MEALS: SOUTHWEST-STYLE CHILI
The chili starts off the same for everyone: browned seasoned beef, a dose of veggies, black beans, tomatoes and a little bit of tomato sauce. At this point the kids' version is ready! To up the ante for the adults, I added a bit of beer, beef stock, more chili powder, a minced jalapeno and brown sugar to round it out.

Steps:
- Let's make the kids' version first. In a large pot, brown the ground beef all over, until no longer pink. If you need to drain the fat, go right ahead! Add the cumin, 1 teaspoon chili powder and a good pinch of salt. Saute for a minute or so. Add the garlic, onion and bell pepper. Saute until the veggies soften and the garlic is fragrant, another couple of minutes.
- Add the beans, diced tomatoes and tomato sauce. Stir to combine and let simmer for 10 minutes. Taste it. The kids will dig that, right?
- Ladle out about a cup for each of your littles. Top each bowl with shredded Cheddar and serve cornbread on the side!
- Now let's finish this out for the adults. To the pot, add the beer, beef stock, jalapeno, brown sugar and the remaining 2 teaspoons chili powder. It will feel pretty soupy at this point, but let it simmer for another 20 minutes or so, stirring once in a while. Taste it one more time for any seasoning adjustments. Maybe a little salt? Lime juice? Go for it.
- Serve it with shredded cheese, sliced jalapeno, sour cream and torn cilantro sprigs. Boom.

Steps:
- In a small pot over medium-high heat, add the oil. When it is hot, add the half the onions and cook until soft, 6 to 8 minutes. Add the No Bean Beef Chili and the beans. Stir and cook until hot.
- Wrap the tortillas in a damp towel and microwave for 30 seconds to make them warm and pliable.
- In a bowl, mix together the cabbage, tomatoes, remaining onions, and cilantro. Season with salt and pepper.
- Place a tortilla on your work surface and spread 1/4 of the chili and bean mixture down the middle. Sprinkle with 1/4 cup cheese and about 1/4 cup of the cabbage mixture. Fold the sides of the tortilla about 1/4 of the way in towards the center. Roll up from the bottom, making sure to tuck in the sides as you roll. Repeat with remaining ingredients.
