Ingredients
- 12 ounces bag of corn chips (like Fritos)
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 medium yellow onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 14.5 ounces canned diced tomatoes with green chiles
- 15 ounces canned kidney beans, rinsed and drained
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.5 cup sour cream (optional, for topping)
- 0.25 cup cilantro, chopped (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon as it cooks, about 5–7 minutes.
Step 2
Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the skillet and cook for an additional 3–4 minutes, until the onion is translucent and fragrant.
Step 3
Stir in the chili powder, cumin, and smoked paprika. Cook for another minute to toast the spices.
Step 4
Add the canned diced tomatoes (including their juices) and the kidney beans. Stir to combine and let the mixture simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened.
Step 5
Meanwhile, spread a layer of corn chips evenly on a serving platter or individual bowls.
Step 6
Spoon the hot chili mixture over the chips, ensuring each portion is generously topped.
Step 7
Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over the chili while it is still hot, allowing the cheese to melt.
Step 8
Top with sour cream and chopped cilantro, if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy!
