Real Easy Chili

by admin

Chili. You can never go wrong with some Mexican. This is my low budget, 30 minute, one pot, go to chili recipe. It probably one of the easiest and fastest dinners you will make. and it’s tasty. Spice blends are life savers! I feel like if you find a good spice blend you can fool anyone into thinking you are a master chef! In this cases Taco seasoning is the bomb. I use it in almost all of my quick-dinner, Mexican dishes. You can also find it in my Enchilada recipe. So, I highly recommend always making sure you have a couple packets of this at home in your pantry. Alrighty, lets cook!

You will need:
  • 1 tablespoons oil
  • 1 red onion
  • 1-2 teaspoon minced garlic (3-4 cloves)
  • Chili’s (optional)
  • 400g minced beef
  • 1 packet taco seasoning (28g)
  • 1 can diced tomatoes (400g)
  • 1 can Tex-mex veggies (340g)
  • 1 can black beans (400g)- or two cans for vegan option
  • 1/2- 1 cup water (237ml) + 1/2-1 cube vegetable bouillon
First finely dice onion, set aside.
Next mince the garlic.
Heat a tablespoon of oil on medium-high heat.
Sauté onion and garlic until onion is soft.
Add your beef. Cook until brown.
In the meantime you can slice some chili’s if you’d like an extra kick. You can add these in anytime while you’re cooking or save them for garnishing. (Or both 🔥)
Make sure the meat is brown and fully cooked through before adding your taco seasoning.
Stir in 1 packet of taco seasoning until evenly combined. Cook for 2 min.
Add tomatoes.
Stir. Cook 2 more minutes.
Add corn.
Add black beans.
Stir in bouillon and water. (1 cube per 1 cup water)
Bring heat to low, then simmer for 5-10 minutes.
Add some of my tasty, fluffy rice to serve, and that’s all there is to it!
