Instructions
- In a large bowl, mix together the ground beef, chorizo, chili powder, cumin, kosher salt, oregano, and black pepper.
- In a large pot or Dutch oven, add the beef and chorizo mixture and cook for 8 minutes, breaking up the meat into small pieces as it cooks. Transfer it to a medium bowl and set aside.
- In the same large pot or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the onions and bell peppers and cook for 5 minutes, until they start to become tender.
- Stir in the garlic and red pepper flakes and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
- Add in the cooked beef and chorizo mixture, black beans, pinto beans, diced tomatoes, tomato paste, and beef broth.
- Stir together until well combined and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 45 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chili reduces and reaches your desired consistency. Taste and season with more salt if needed.
- Serve with desired toppings.
Notes
- Make your own. Instead of store bought you can make your own homemade chorizo for this recipe.
- Don't go too lean. I recommend using 80/20 beef and ground pork so it stays juicy and flavorful. Using lean ground beef and pork will get too dry and grainy.
- Prefer an extra thick chili? You can reduce the amount of chicken broth to 4-5 cups.
- Add extra vegetables like corn kernels or roasted poblano peppers.
