Toppings:

Instructions

  1. Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in large dutch oven over medium-high heat. Once hot, add ground beef and cook until no longer pink. Drain excess grease and set meat aside in a bowl.
  2. In the same pan, turn heat back on to medium-high and add 1 tbsp olive oil. Cook onion and pepper until beginning to soften, about 5 minutes. Add in garlic, chili powder, garlic powder, paprika, cumin, oregano, salt and pepper. Stir and let cook one minute. 
  3. Pour in beans, diced tomatoes, corn, and green chiles. Stir to combine, then add broth and water.
  4. Stir in chopped cilantro and bring to a boil. Once boiling, reduce heat to medium-low and let simmer for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally. 
  5. Top with toppings of choice! I like cheese, tortilla strips, and sour cream.
