Flamin' Hot Doritos Chili

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. 1

   Heat olive oil in a large Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high heat. Add ground beef and cook, breaking it apart with a spoon, until browned. Drain off any excess grease.

2. 2

   Add diced onion and red bell pepper to the pot and cook until softened, about 5-7 minutes. Stir in minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.

3. 3

   Stir in the chili powder, ground cumin, smoked paprika, cayenne pepper, dried oregano, and ground allspice. Cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, until the spices are fragrant.

4. 4

   Pour in the crushed tomatoes, tomato sauce, beef broth, kidney beans, and black beans. Stir well to combine. Bring the chili to a simmer, then reduce heat to low, cover, and let it cook for at least 1 hour, stirring occasionally, to allow the flavors to meld. For best results, cook for 2-3 hours.

5. 5

   Season the chili with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. If the chili is too thick, add a little more beef broth or water until it reaches your desired consistency.

6. 6

   To serve, ladle hot chili into bowls. Generously top each serving with a large handful of crushed Flamin' Hot Doritos. Add any additional desired garnishes such as shredded cheddar cheese, a dollop of sour cream, sliced green onions, or fresh cilantro.

7. 7

   Serve immediately and enjoy the spicy, crunchy goodness!
