Spicy Taco Chili

IMG_3878
I love a good bean-free chili that’s hearty, zesty, meaty and sticks to your ribs. This spicy taco chili is exactly that and it’s incredibly easy too.

Honestly, the night I made this, I could not stop raving about the flavors…it’s that freaking good! It tastes even better the next day too. I love when dishes turn out even better than I expected!

Now, it’s your turn to be the judge. I hope you love it as much as I do!

Cheers and enjoy!

Spicy Taco Chili

Ingredients:

  • 1 Tbsp avocado oil, grass-fed butter or ghee
  • 1 red onion, chopped
  • 1 poblano pepper, seeded and chopped
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 lb grass-fed ground beef
  • 2 fresh chicken or pork chorizo sausages, sliced OR removed from casing (or ~1/2 lb ground chorizo)
  • 3 Tbsp junk-free taco seasoning (I buy in bulk section at grocery store) OR makeย homemade taco seasoning
  • 1 lime, juiced
  • 14 oz container organic fresh salsa (I used medium)
  • 26.45 oz box strained tomatoes or 28 oz can (I likeย this brand)
  • 3.5 cups good-quality chicken broth, plus more if needed
  • 2 Tbsp apple cider vinegar
  • Sea salt and black pepper to taste
  • Fresh cilantro, for serving
  • Avocado slices, for serving

Directions:

  1. Add avocado oil, butter or ghee to a large pot over medium heat. Then, add the onion, garlic and poblano pepper, and stir. After a few minutes, add the ground beef and break up with a spatula. Add the choirzo (either as slices or removed from casing, unless using ground ) and taco seasoning. Stir well and continue to cook.
  2. After several minutes, once meat is browned, add the lime juice, salsa, strained tomatoes and chicken broth. Bring to a simmer. Then, cover and reduce heat to medium-low.
  3. Once chili has simmered for about 10-15 minutes, add the apple cider vinegar and stir. Then, taste and season with sea salt and pepper, as needed. Cover and allow to simmer 20-30 minutes more. Add more broth if chili is thicker than you like.
  4. Serve with fresh cilantro and avocado slices, and any other garnishes your heart desires.

Yields: ~6 servings

    This is one of my go too comfort foods – and will be fun to try out your version ๐Ÿ™‚ I usually serve this with cauliflower rice and because i’m doing the LCHF diet – a BIG dollop of sour cream! LOVE ๐Ÿ™‚

      Nice! Yes, some good fatty sour cream would be a great complement, especially because this is spicy!
