Fresh jalapenos give heat and flavor to this simple chili that comes together in 30 minutes or less. Enjoy Jalapeno Chili for an easy weeknight dinner.
In a large stockpot heat the oil until shimmering. Add the jalapeno, onion, and garlic. Cook over high heat for 3 minutes or until the onions are clear.
Deglaze the pan with the tomato sauce, scraping up any browned bits. Add the meat, pintos, black beans, and enough water for your preferred consistency. Stir until blended.
Simmer for 20 minutes. Serve with toppings.
Notes
Chili can be frozen. Chill completely before storing the chili in an airtight container in the freezer. Thaw in the refrigerator before reheating to serve.
