Ingredients
  

1 lb (450g) ground beef

1 can (15 oz) black beans, drained and rinsed

1 can (15 oz) kidney beans, drained and rinsed

1 can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes with green chilies

1 medium onion, diced

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 tablespoon chili powder

1 teaspoon cumin

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper (adjust to taste)

Salt and pepper to taste

2 cups beef broth

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 avocado, diced

Fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)

Sour cream or Greek yogurt (optional, for serving)

Instructions
 

Heat the Olive Oil:

    In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Once hot, add the diced onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until it becomes translucent.

      Cook the Ground Beef:

        Add the ground beef to the pot with the onions. Cook until browned, breaking it up with a spoon, about 5-7 minutes. Drain excess fat if necessary.

          Add Garlic and Spices:

            Stir in the minced garlic, chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, and cayenne pepper. Cook for another minute until the spices are fragrant.

              Combine the Ingredients:

                Add the black beans, kidney beans, diced tomatoes (with juices), and beef broth to the pot. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Stir to combine all ingredients evenly.

                  Simmer:

                    Bring the chili to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to low. Let it simmer for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, to allow the flavors to meld together.

                      Serve:

                        Ladle the chili into bowls and top with diced avocado and a sprinkle of fresh cilantro. Add a dollop of sour cream or Greek yogurt if desired.

                          Garnish:

                            Enjoy your spicy chili warm, garnished with extra cilantro or avocado for a refreshing touch!
