Ingredients
- 3 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 medium yellow onion, chopped
- 5 cloves garlic, chopped
- 1 tbsp salt
- 2 tsp chilli powder
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 15g tomato puree
- 1 chipotle chile in adobo, coarsely chopped, with 1 tbsp sauce
- 450g turkey mince
- 350ml Mexican lager-style beer
- 1 (415g) tin whole peeled tomatoes, with their juice
- 1 (475g) tin kidney beans, rinsed and drained
- Sliced spring onions, coriander sprigs, avocado, sour cream, grated Monterey jack cheese, and/or tortilla chips, for garnish, optional
Method
- Warm the olive oil in a large, heavy skillet. Cook the chopped onion and garlic with the salt, chilli powder, and oregano, stirring until aromatic for about 3 mins.
- Mix in the tomato puree, chopped chipotle chilli, and its sauce. Cook for 1 min more. Crumble in the turkey mince with a wooden spoon and cook until no longer pink, roughly 3 mins.
- Pour in the Mexican lager and let it simmer until the liquid has reduced by approximately half, which should take about 8 mins.
- Add the tinned tomatoes, crushing them with your fingers into the pan along with their juice. Stir in the rinsed kidney beans. Bring to a boil and cook uncovered, stirring now and then, until thickened, about 10 mins.
- Spoon the finished chilli into bowls. Offer optional garnishes like sliced spring onions, coriander, avocado, sour cream, grated cheese, or tortilla chips for serving.
