Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 Jalapeno peppers diced
- 1 medium onion diced
- 4 cloves garlic chopped
- 1.5 pounds ground turkey or use ground beef, ground chicken, or ground pork
- 3 ounces tomato paste
- 1 tablespoon chili powder
- 1 tablespoon ancho powder
- 1 teaspoon cayenne
- 1 teaspoon oregano
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- salt and pepper to taste
- 15 ounces fire roasted tomatoes (1 can)
- 2 Cans Black Beans drained - 16 ounce cans
- 2 cups chicken stock or use a good flavored amber colored beer – I used a white ale
- hot sauce to taste
- FOR SERVING: Crumbly white cheese, spicy chili flakes, chopped red onion, fresh chopped parsley
Instructions
- Heat the oil in a large pot and add the jalapeno peppers and onions. Cook them down about 5 minutes, or until they become tender.
- Add the garlic and cook for another minute, until the garlic becomes fragrant.
- Add the ground turkey and break apart with a wooden spoon. Cook until the turkey is mostly cooked through, about 5 minutes.
- Stir in the tomato paste and seasonings, and cook another minute, stirring.
- Add in the fire roasted tomatoes, chicken stock (or beer), chicken stock, black beans, plus hot sauce to taste. Bring to a boil.
- Reduce heat and simmer for at least 30 minutes. You can easily let it simmer for an hour to let the flavors develop even further.
- Serve into bowls with your favorite toppings.

Notes
- Heat Level: Mild-Medium. You can easily spice this up with hotter chili peppers, though there is some heat here. Hot sauce is a nice addition.
