Step 1
Heat a large pot over medium heat. Toss in the garlic, onion, habanero peppers, all three kinds of beans, diced tomatoes with green chiles, salsa, chili powder, black pepper, red pepper flakes, cumin, and taco seasoning. Give everything a good stir and bring it up to a boil. Once it’s bubbling, lower the heat, cover the pot, and let it simmer gently.
Step 2
While the chili is warming up, brown the ground beef in a large skillet over medium heat. Make sure it’s cooked through, then drain off any excess fat. Stir the beef into your pot of chili, cover it again, and let it cook slowly for about an hour so all the flavors can really come together.
Perfect Pairings
Serve with a dollop of sour cream or a sprinkle of shredded cheese on top. Fresh cilantro or chopped green onions add a nice touch of color and freshness. Pair it with warm cornbread or steamed rice for a complete meal.
Storage Advice
Let the chili cool completely before storing it in an airtight container. It will keep well in the fridge for up to 4 days. You can also freeze portions for up to 3 months—just thaw and reheat gently on the stove.
