How to make Chipotle Beef and Beer Chili

  1. Heat the oil in a heavy skillet over medium-high. Cook the onion, garlic, chili powder and oregano with about 1 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper for 3 to 5 minutes.

  2. Add the tomato paste, chipotle and adobo and cook for 1 minute. Add the beef and break it up as it browns.

  3. Pour in the beer and simmer until reduced by about half, roughly 8 minutes. Add the tomatoes and beans and cook uncovered for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chili thickens.
