Ingredients
2 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil- 1 onion chopped
5 cloves garlic chopped
2 tsp chili powder
1 tsp dried oregano- kosher salt and black pepper to taste
1 tbsp tomato paste- 1 to 2 chipotle chiles in adobo chopped
- 1 tbsp adobo sauce
1 lb ground beef- 12 oz lager or similar beer
- 1 can diced tomatoes 14.5 oz
1 can black beans 15.5 oz, rinsed and drained- avocado, shredded cheese, cilantro, scallions and sour cream optional toppings
Instructions
- 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.
- Add the tomato paste, chipotle and adobo and cook for 1 minute. Add the beef and break it up as it browns.
