Let’s Cook

1. Brown the meat. In a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat, add ground beef, chorizo, and onions. Cook, stirring occasionally, until meat is fully browned and onions are softened, about 7–8 minutes.

2. Add spices and tomatoes. Stir in salt, pepper, smoked paprika, chili powder, and chipotle. Add roasted tomatoes and tomato sauce, mixing well to combine.

3. Simmer. Reduce heat to low and let chili simmer uncovered for 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.

4. Add beans & scallions. Stir in kidney beans and scallions. Cook another 5 minutes until everything is heated through.

5. Serve. Ladle chili into bowls and top with shredded cheese, chopped onions, sour cream, hot sauce, or tortilla chips as desired.
