- Core, then cut bell pepper into 1/2-inch pieces.
- Roughly chop cilantro.
- Core, then finely chop jalapeño, removing seeds for less heat. (TIP: We suggest using gloves when prepping jalapeńos!)
- Heat a large pot over medium-high heat.
- When the pan is hot, add 1 tsp (2 tsp) oil, then bell peppers and 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) jalapeños. (NOTE: Reference heat guide.)
- Cook, stirring occasionally, until tender, 4-5 min.
- Season with salt and pepper.
- Remove from heat, then transfer veggies to a plate.
- Reheat the same pot over medium.
- When hot, add pork to the dry pot.
- Cook, breaking up pork into smaller pieces, until no pink remains, 4-5 min.**
- Carefully drain and discard excess fat.
- Add Enchilada Spice Blend, then stir to combine.
- Add crushed tomatoes, half the black beans and their liquid (use all for 4 ppl) and 1/2 cup (1 cup) water to the pot with pork.
- Stir to combine, then bring to a boil over high.
- Once boiling, reduce heat to medium.
- Simmer, stirring occasionally, until chili thickens slightly, 10-12 min. (TIP: If you have time, keep it simmering on the stove for longer. Chili gets better the longer it cooks!)
- Season with salt and pepper.
- When chili has thickened, add veggies. Cook, stirring often, until warmed through, 2-3 min.
- Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
- Divide chili between bowls.
- Dollop sour cream over top, then sprinkle with cilantro and cheese.
- Sprinkle any remaining jalapenos over top, if desired.
