Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons avocado oil
  • 3 cups onions diced (yellow or white)
  • 2 tablespoons garlic minced
  • 1 pound brisket cut into 1/2" chunks ( about 2-3 cups)
  • 3 15.25-ounce cans beans (black, kidney, red, or pinto)—do not drain
  • 28 ounces crushed tomatoes
  • 4 ounces tomato paste
  • 4 ounces green chilis do not drain
  • 1/4 cup chili powder
  • 1 tablespoon cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon cayenne
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 cup beef broth

Instructions

  • In a large Dutch oven, add the avocado oil and heat over medium heat. Once shimmering, add the diced onions and cook until the onions begin to caramelize and turn golden on the edges—about 5-8 minutes. Add the minced garlic and saute for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
  • Add the brisket, cooking over medium heat, until seared and browned on all sides—about 5 minutes. Pour 3 cans of beans along with their sauces into the brisket mixture and add the crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, green chilis, chili powder, cumin, cayenne, salt, pepper, and beef broth.
  • Stir until well combined and bring to a simmer, letting the chili cook on medium low heat for about 30-45 minutes, or until the brisket is tender and cooked.
  • Remove from the heat and serve with chili toppings like sour cream, tortilla chips, and shredded cheese. Enjoy!

Notes

Storing leftovers: store cooled chili in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days, or in the freezer for up to 2 months. To thaw, transfer to the fridge overnight.
Reheating: either microwave a small portion or transfer to a pot over medium heat and cook until warm.
