Before you jump to Beef & Chorizo Chili recipe, you may want to read this short interesting healthy tips about Finding Healthy Fast Food.
Almost every “get healthy” and “weight loss” posting you read will tell you to skip the drive through and make all of your meals yourself. This is really very good information. But at times the last thing you wish to do is make a whole dinner for yourself and your family. Once in a while you need to visit the drive through while you’re on your way home and complete the day. Why shouldn’t you be able to do this from time to time and not have a bunch of guilt about slipping up on your diet program? This is because many of the popular fast food restaurants out there are trying to “healthy up” their selections. Here is how you can find healthy food choices at the drive through.
Focus on the sides. It wasn’t that long ago that all you could get at the fast food restaurant was French Fries. Now virtually all of the well-known fast food places have expanded their menus. Now quite a few of them offer you salads. You could also pick out Chili. Baked potatoes can also be bought. Fruit is usually obtainable. There are a lot of options that you can choose that do not force you to ingest foods that have been deep fried. When you buy your dinner through a drive through window, select side dishes instead of just grabbing something premade. You’ll maintain your calorie and fatty food count lower and escape dedication.
Logic claims that one the simplest way to stay healthy and balanced is to avoid the drive through and never eat fast food. While, in most cases, this is a good plan, if you make sensible choices, there is no reason to feel guilty for visiting a drive through one or two times a month. Sometimes what you need is to let another person make your dinner. When you choose healthful menu items, you do not have to feel terrible about visiting the drive through.
We hope you got insight from reading it, now let’s go back to beef & chorizo chili recipe. You can have beef & chorizo chili using 11 ingredients and 10 steps. Here is how you do that.
The ingredients needed to cook Beef & Chorizo Chili:
- Provide 1 lb ground beef
- You need 1 lb Mexican style chorizo (I used homemade)
- You need 1 medium onion - chopped
- Get 2 (28 oz) cans whole tomatoes - 1 can drained
- Provide 2 (14.5 oz) cans dark red kidney beans - drained and rinsed
- Take 1 (14.5 oz) can black beans - drained and rinsed
- Provide 1 (8.75 oz) can whole kernel corn
- Get 1 can El Pato hot tomato sauce (Yes, Pato, not Paso)
- Provide 2 packets chili seasoning (or use homemade to taste)
- Prepare 2 tbs ketchup (optional)
- Provide Hot sauce (optional, amount is to personal taste)
Instructions to make Beef & Chorizo Chili:
- Heat a large pot over medium heat. Add chorizo. Crumble to large chunks and begin to brown, stirring often.
- When chorizo is almost done move to one side of pot. Add ground beef to empty side. Sprinkle lightly with salt. Crumble and brown, stirring often (just the beef side).
- When beef is almost done. Add onion. Stir meats and onion together. Allow meats to finish cooking. About 2 minutes.
- Add beans, corn, El Pato sauce, and tomatoes. Do not stir yet. Smash tomatoes by hand directly in the pot. Add chili seasoning and additional salt to taste. Stir to combine.
- Bring to a simmer. Place lid on top slightly off center to vent. Reduce heat to medium low. Simmer 1 hr stirring occasionally.
- Just before serving stir in ketchup and desired amount of your favorite hot sauce if you'd like. Taste. Adjust salt if needed. Dish up and enjoy!
- For tips, see NOTES below ⤵
- NOTE: If you feel nervous about smashing up the tomatoes in the pot (like you could burn yourself, which you shouldn't because you shouldn't be submerging your hand into anything) smash them up in a separate bowl before adding. I just do them directly in the pot to save a dish. It is wise, though, to utilize your pot lid as a shield to prevent squinting everything with tomato juice and seeds. Lol
- NOTE 2: If you can't find El Pato brand hot tomato sauce in your local market any brand of hot tomato sauce will do (you just need a small can). We just really think El Pato is the best.
- NOTE 3: For a tasty homemade chili seasoning see the recipe for "chilly chili seasoning' on my page.
