Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium yellow onion
- 2 large garlic cloves
- 14 ounces canned diced tomatoes
- 15 ounces canned kidney beans
- 15 ounces canned black beans
- 2 teaspoons chili powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon oregano
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 cup fresh cilantro
- 1 optional jalapeño
Instructions
Dice the onion and mince the garlic cloves.
Drain and rinse the canned kidney beans and black beans.
If using, deseed and finely chop the jalapeño.
In a large skillet or pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
Add the diced onion to the skillet and sauté for about 3-4 minutes until translucent.
Add the minced garlic and optional jalapeño, and sauté for another minute, stirring frequently to prevent burning.
Add the ground beef to the skillet, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon. Cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes.
Once the beef is browned, drain any excess fat if necessary.
Stir in the diced tomatoes, kidney beans, black beans, chili powder, ground cumin, oregano, salt, and black pepper.
Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer. Cover and let it cook for approximately 15-20 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. If a spicier dish is desired, add more chopped jalapeño or chili powder.
Chop the fresh cilantro and stir it into the cooked ground beef and bean mixture just before serving.
Serve hot. This dish pairs well with rice, tortilla chips, or crusty bread.
