: A good chili has well-seasoned meat, creamy beans, and tender veggies. A great chili, however, has all that and comes together in one pot in under an hour. This chili is one of the greats. And once you take a bite, we can guarantee you’ll agree. Not to mention, these top-notch pork-ified bowls are adorned with some delicious fixings: smoky red pepper crema and sliced jalepeño. If you’ve got some on hand, why not sprinkle some crumbled tortilla chips on top for crunch?

Chicken Stock Concentrate

2 unit

Smoky Red Pepper Crema

2 tablespoon

Jalapeño

1 unit

Black Beans

1 unit

Scallions

Tex-Mex Paste

Southwest Spice Blend

2 tablespoon

Preparation

Wash and dry produce.
Trim and thinly slice scallions, separating whites from greens. Thinly slice half the jalapeño into rounds; mince remaining. TIP: Remove ribs and seeds for less heat.

Heat a large drizzle of oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add scallion whites and as much minced jalapeño as desired. Season with salt. Cook, stirring, until softened, 5-7 minutes.

Add pork* and Southwest Spice Blend to pot with scallion mixture; season with salt and pepper. Cook, breaking up meat into pieces, until pork is browned and cooked through, 4-6 minutes.

Stir crushed tomatoes and Tex-Mex paste into pot; cook until warmed through, 1-2 minutes.
Add beans and their liquid, stock concentrates, ¼ cup water (½ cup for 4 servings), salt, and pepper; stir to combine. Bring to a simmer and cook until thickened, 8-10 minutes. Turn off heat. (TIP: If chili is too thick, add another splash of water.) Taste and season with salt and pepper.
Divide chili between bowls. Top with smoky red pepper crema, scallion greens, and as much sliced jalapeño as you like. Serve.
