Time 35m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
12 ounces ground beef chuck
1 onion, chopped
1 poblano chile pepper, seeded and chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons chili powder
1 teaspoon ground cumin Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1 15-ounce can diced tomatoes with green chiles
1 15-ounce can pinto beans (do not drain)
2 medium zucchini and/or yellow squash, cut into ½-inch pieces
1 avocado, diced
Fresh cilantro, for topping

Steps:

  • Heat the olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and cook, breaking up the meat, until browned, about 3 minutes. Add the onion, poblano and garlic; cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender and lightly browned, about 5 minutes. Stir in the chili powder, cumin, 1 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Cook, stirring, until combined, about 1 minute.
  • Add the tomatoes and the beans and their liquid to the pot; bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium and simmer until the liquid is slightly reduced, about 5 minutes.
  • Stir the squash into the pot. Partially cover and cook, stirring occasionally, until the squash is tender and the chili thickens slightly, about 10 minutes (add up to ½ cup water if the chili is too thick). Season with salt. Top each serving of chili with the avocado and some cilantro.

This chili is a great way to get your kids to eat their vegetables. My kids loved the summer squash and didn't even realize they were eating it.

I added a can of black beans to this chili and it was delicious! It gave the chili a boost of protein and fiber.
