Round 2 Recipe Southwest Beef And Black Bean Chili Food

ONE RECIPE, TWO MEALS: SOUTHWEST-STYLE CHILI

Steps:

• Let's make the kids' version first. In a large pot, brown the ground beef all over, until no longer pink. If you need to drain the fat, go right ahead! Add the cumin, 1 teaspoon chili powder and a good pinch of salt. Saute for a minute or so. Add the garlic, onion and bell pepper. Saute until the veggies soften and the garlic is fragrant, another couple of minutes.
• Add the beans, diced tomatoes and tomato sauce. Stir to combine and let simmer for 10 minutes. Taste it. The kids will dig that, right?
• Ladle out about a cup for each of your littles. Top each bowl with shredded Cheddar and serve cornbread on the side!
• Now let's finish this out for the adults. To the pot, add the beer, beef stock, jalapeno, brown sugar and the remaining 2 teaspoons chili powder. It will feel pretty soupy at this point, but let it simmer for another 20 minutes or so, stirring once in a while. Taste it one more time for any seasoning adjustments. Maybe a little salt? Lime juice? Go for it.
• Serve it with shredded cheese, sliced jalapeno, sour cream and torn cilantro sprigs. Boom.

SOUTHWESTERN BEEF AND BLACK BEAN CHILI

Steps:

• Heat 2 Tbs. of the oil in a heavy-duty 6-quart pot over medium-high heat until shimmering hot. Season the beef with 1-1/2 tsp. salt and 3/4 tsp. pepper. Cook half of the beef, undisturbed, until browned, 2 to 3 minutes. Break up the meat and cook, stirring or turning occasionally, until well browned, 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer to a large plate. Add another 1 Tbs. oil to the pot, and brown the remaining beef; transfer to the plate along with any liquid from the pot.
• Add the remaining 1-1/2 Tbs. of oil, the onion, and garlic to the pot. Sprinkle with 1/2 tsp. salt and cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until softened and lightly browned, about 5 minutes. Stir in the bell pepper, jalapeño, chili powder, cumin, tomato paste, and New Mexico chile powder and cook, stirring, until fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes.
• Pour in the beer, turn the heat up to high, and cook, scraping the bottom of the pot to loosen any browned bits, until most of the liquid is evaporated, about 2 minutes.
• Add the canned tomatoes and beef broth and bring to a simmer.
• Turn the heat down to medium low. Purée 1-1/2 cups of the beans in a blender or food processor, adding a little stewing liquid as needed, and then stir the puréed beans into the stewing liquid in the pot. Add the remaining whole beans. Cover and simmer, stirring occasionally, for 30 minutes. Add the ground beef back to the pot, and cook for 30 minutes more. If the chili gets too thick, thin it with a little water.
• Add the corn and zucchini to the chili and cook until tender, about 10 minutes.
• Stir in the lime juice, and season with salt and pepper to taste.
• Serve with the garnishes.

ROUND 2 RECIPE - BEEF AND BEAN BURRITOS

Steps:

• In a small pot over medium-high heat, add the oil. When it is hot, add the half the onions and cook until soft, 6 to 8 minutes. Add the No Bean Beef Chili and the beans. Stir and cook until hot.
• Wrap the tortillas in a damp towel and microwave for 30 seconds to make them warm and pliable.
• In a bowl, mix together the cabbage, tomatoes, remaining onions, and cilantro. Season with salt and pepper.
• Place a tortilla on your work surface and spread 1/4 of the chili and bean mixture down the middle. Sprinkle with 1/4 cup cheese and about 1/4 cup of the cabbage mixture. Fold the sides of the tortilla about 1/4 of the way in towards the center. Roll up from the bottom, making sure to tuck in the sides as you roll. Repeat with remaining ingredients.

• Preheat the broiler.
• Put the fried tortillas on a sheet tray and top each with 1/4 of the bean mixture and 1/4 of the cheese. Put under the broiler until the cheese is melted and bubbling, about 2 minutes.
