Instructions

Pull out your slow cooker and set aside.
In a medium microwave-safe bowl, combine onions, chili powder, garlic, oil, tomato paste, flour, salt, oregano, and chipotle. Microwave, stirring occasionally, until onions are softened, 4 to 5 minutes. Alternatively, you can combine the ingredients in a medium saucepan over medium-low heat, and cook gently until the onion softens. Transfer to the slow cooker.
Stir in pork, broth, coffee, sugar, and bay leaves. Cover and cook until pork is tender, 9 to 10 hours on low or 6 to 7 hours on high.☞ TESTER TIP: If you don’t have a slow cooker, you can make this in a Dutch oven and cook in a 200°F (93°C) oven for 9 to 10 hours.
Discard bay leaves. Stir raisins into chili and let sit until heated through, about 5 minutes.
Stir in cilantro and lime zest and juice. Season with salt, pepper, extra sugar, and extra lime juice to taste.
Top with your favorite fixins and serve.
