Wash and dry produce.

Halve, peel, and dice onion. Thinly slice half the jalapeño into rounds; mince remaining jalapeño. TIP: Remove ribs and seeds for less heat.

Heat a large drizzle of oil in a medium pot over medium-high heat. Add minced jalapeño and half the onion; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring, until softened, 5-7 minutes.

Add beef*, Mexican Spice Blend, Southwest Spice Blend, salt, and pepper to pot. Cook, breaking up meat into pieces, until browned and cooked through, 4-6 minutes.

Swap in organic beef* for beef. 

Stir tomato paste into pot. Cook, stirring, until dark red and combined, 1-2 minutes.

Add crushed tomatoes, beans and their liquid, stock concentrate, remaining onion, ¼ cup water, salt, and pepper; stir to combine. Bring to a simmer and cook, uncovered, until thickened, 8-10 minutes.

Turn off heat. Taste and season with salt and pepper.

Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine sour cream with hot sauce to taste; season with salt and pepper. Stir in water 1 tsp at a time until mixture reaches a drizzling consistency.

Divide chili between bowls. Top with Monterey Jack, hot sauce crema, and as much sliced jalapeño as you like.
