Flavorful Chicken Nibbles

Instructions

Step 1

Start by heating a large pot over medium heat, then add the garlic, onion, habanero peppers, all three kinds of beans, diced tomatoes with green chiles, salsa, and the spices—chili powder, black pepper, red pepper flakes, cumin, and taco seasoning. Give everything a good stir and bring it up to a boil. Once it’s bubbling, turn the heat down, cover the pot, and let it simmer.

Step 2

While the chili is warming, cook the ground beef in a large skillet over medium heat until it’s nicely browned. Drain off any excess fat, then add the beef right into the pot with the chili. Cover it again and let it simmer gently for about an hour so all those flavors can really come together. Stir occasionally and enjoy the delicious aroma filling your kitchen!
