Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb chorizo sausage
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 large yellow onion, diced
- 1 large red bell pepper, diced
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 2 tsp ground cumin
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 1 tbsp chili powder
- 2 cans (15 oz each) black beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 can (15 oz) fire-roasted diced tomatoes
- 2 tbsp tomato paste
- 2 cups beef broth
- 1 tsp kosher salt
- 0.5 tsp freshly ground black pepper
- 0.25 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
- 4 wedges lime wedges (for serving)
Instructions
In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat olive oil over medium-high heat.
Add the chorizo sausage. Cook and break it apart with a wooden spoon until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the cooked chorizo from the pot and set it aside on a plate.
In the same pot, add the diced onion and red bell pepper. Sauté until softened, about 5 minutes.
Stir in the minced garlic, smoked paprika, ground cumin, dried oregano, and chili powder. Sauté for an additional 1 minute to bloom the spices.
Return the cooked chorizo to the pot. Add the black beans, fire-roasted diced tomatoes, tomato paste, and beef broth. Stir to combine well.
Season with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let it simmer gently for 25-30 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
Taste and adjust seasonings if necessary.
Serve the chili hot, garnished with freshly chopped cilantro and a squeeze of fresh lime juice. Pair with lime wedges on the side.
