🛒 Ingredients

  • 1.5 pounds ground beef (80/20 recommended)
  • 1 large yellow onion, diced
  • 1 red bell pepper, diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 (28-ounce) can crushed tomatoes
  • 1 (15-ounce) can tomato sauce
  • 1 (15-ounce) can kidney beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1 (15-ounce) can black beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1 cup beef broth
  • 3 tablespoons chili powder
  • 1 tablespoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (or more, to taste)
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • 1 (9.25-ounce) bag Flamin' Hot Doritos, crushed
  • Optional garnishes: shredded cheddar cheese, sour cream, sliced green onions, fresh cilantro

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!
