Chili: Quick & Easy Dinner

Chili is a great dish because you can feed a lot of people easily or you can save it for another time if you're just cooking for you. The other night I (not my boyfriend this time - shocking I know!) cooked dinner for my friends. I decided to make chili because it's so easy - there are only a few ingredients and it all takes about 20 minutes to make! 

**The recipe below is for two pounds of chili, but in parentheses I added what you would need to make only one pound.


Ingredients:
2 pounds of chopped meat (or 1lb)
Adobo
Two packets of sazón (or 1 packet)
3 8oz containers of Ortega Taco Sauce (or 2 containers)
1 can of red kidney beans
Rice (or anything else you'd like to pair your chili with)
Mexican cheese (if you like cheese)


Here's How it's Done:
• In a medium pan cook the chopped meat thoroughly. Turn gas off once meat is fully cooked.
• Strain the grease out and put the meat back into the pan.
• Add the sazón and add some adobo to taste. Mix the seasonings around so they cover the meat as evenly as possible.
• Open the can of beans, strain and rinse them, and add them to the meat.
• Add in both containers of taco sauce and mix everything around.
• Heat the chili over a low-medium flame for about 5-10 minutes, stirring occasionally.


Meanwhile:
• In a small pot, boil water for rice. Once water is boiling, put bag of rice in the pot. Remove the rice when the water boils again (about 10 minutes).


While the rice and the chili are still hot, put some in your bowl and add the taco cheese. Mix the cheese around with the rice and chili so it melts and enjoy :)
