Number Of Ingredients 11

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 cup chopped garlic (from 12 cloves)
1 large onion, chopped (1 1/2 cups)
2 poblano chiles, chopped, ribs and seeds removed if less heat is desired (1 1/2 cups)
2 teaspoons ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 pounds ground beef (80 percent lean)
Coarse salt
3 tablespoons red-wine vinegar
1 can (28 ounces) whole peeled tomatoes, chopped
Cooked rice, sliced green olives (such as manzanilla), chopped toasted almonds, and currants, for serving

Steps:

  • Heat oil in a large pot over medium-high. Add garlic, onion, and chiles; cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 5 minutes. Add cumin and cinnamon; cook, stirring constantly, just until fragrant, about 1 minute.

This chili was way too salty. I think I accidentally added too much salt.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my chili turned out really soupy. I think I might have added too much liquid.

This chili was a disaster! The beef was tough, the sauce was too runny, and the flavors just didn't work together.

I found this chili to be a bit bland. I think it needed more seasoning.

This chili was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything special either.

This chili was a little too spicy for me, but my husband loved it. I'll definitely be making it again, but I'll use less chili powder next time.

I wasn't sure about the combination of ground beef and raisins, but it actually worked really well. This chili is definitely a keeper.

I love picadillo, and this chili is a great way to enjoy it. The addition of the corn and beans gives it a really nice texture and flavor.

This picadillo-style chili was a hit with my family! The flavors were incredible, and the beef was so tender. I'll definitely be making this again.
