FIESTA STEAK CHILI



Fiesta Steak Chili image

This is a basic recipe for non-traditional chili using steak. My wife is allergic to chili powder, so I don't use any in this recipe, but you are welcome to add some if you like. This is a very tame, full-flavor, colorful chili recipe that even the kids will like. There are plenty of other variations that you can use with this basic recipe, please change at will. Things we have tried include adding three or four fresh jalapenos, or adding Tabasco® habanaro sauce, or cilantro, or fresh tomatoes, or using red, yellow, orange, and green peppers, or hamburger instead of a steak or roast. Serve with tortilla chips, cheese and sour cream.

1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

3 multi-colored bell peppers, cut into thick strips

1/4 cup packed fresh cilantro leaves
Iceberg lettuce, shredded
1/2 cup sour cream
8 small flour tortillas, warm

Steps:
