Instructions

  • Saute the ground beef, the onion, and the pepper until the vegetables are soft.
  • add the remaining ingredients, cover, and simmer for 10 minutes, adding a little more beef broth if it gets too dry.
  • Remove the chipotle and guijillo chiles. If you like a spicier chili you can mash the chiles up and add them back in - but be careful. This is SPICY.
  • Spoon into a bowl by itself or over cauli-rice and top as desired.

Notes

 
You may use stew meat instead of the ground beef if you are cooking in a slow cooker.
