Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. For the enchilada spice mixture: In a small bowl, combine cumin, oregano, chili powder, chipotle powder, ancho chili powder, garlic powder, kosher salt, black pepper, and cinnamon. Set aside.
  2. For the rest of the chili: In a large pot over medium heat, brown the ground meat, breaking it up as it cooks. With a large slotted spoon, remove cooked meat to a plate and set aside. Remove any fat from pot.
  3. To the same large pot over medium heat, add the oil. When oil starts to shimmer, add onion and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until just softened. Then stir in enchilada spice mixture. Cook until fragrant and slightly deeper in color, stirring occasionally, about 2 minutes. Stir in tomato paste, to combine evenly. Then add tomato sauce, stirring to break up any lumps. Add diced tomatoes and chicken broth, and then turn up heat to medium-high and bring mixture to a simmer. Once thoroughly warmed, stir in cream cheese until completely combined and creamy. Add cooked ground meat, black beans, and corn. Turn heat down to medium to medium-low and cook for about 10 minutes, or until thoroughly warmed. Taste test and add more kosher salt if needed.
  4. Serve creamy enchilada chili with cilantro, crumbled Cotija, and fresh lime wedges for squeezing over the top of individual bowls. If you like, also reserve some of the black beans and corn for sprinkling over the top of individual bowls.
