Ingredients
- 1 yellow onion diced
- 4 cloves garlic minced
- 1/2 lb ground beef
- 3 cans black beans drained (15 oz each)
- 1 can diced tomatoes with green chiles 10 oz
- 1 can tomato paste 6 oz
- 1 Tbsp chili powder
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- 1/2 tsp dried oregano
- 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
- 1/2 tsp salt

Instructions
- Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the diced onion and minced garlic, cooking for 2-3 minutes until the onions are soft and fragrant.
- Add the ground beef to the pot and cook for 5-7 minutes, breaking it apart as it browns completely.

- Cover the pot with a lid and bring the chili to a simmer. Let it simmer for about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, allowing the flavors to meld and the liquid to reduce slightly.
