Add the diced onion and cook until softened, about 4-5 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute.

Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for 20 minutes. Stir occasionally to ensure even cooking.

Step 6

Taste and adjust the seasoning with additional salt or spices if needed.

Step 7

Serve the chili hot, topped with sour cream, shredded Monterey Jack cheese, and chopped cilantro, if desired. Enjoy!
