Chipotle, Beef, and Bean Chili Recipe

Ingredients

• 2 Tbsp Olive Oil
• 1 Large Onion, diced
• 4 Cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 lb. Ground Beef
• 2 Cups Water
• 1 28-oz. Can Fire Roasted Crushed Tomatoes
• 2 (15-oz.) Cans Black Beans, drained and rinsed
• 1 Can Chipotle Peppers in Adobo Sauce (use at least 2-3 peppers for heat)

• 1/2 tsp Dried Oregano
• 1/2 tsp Smoked Paprika
• 1 tsp Salt
• Optional toppings: Shredded cheese, sour cream, tortilla chips, cilantro.
