THIS CHILI IS A FAMILY FAVORITE!
One of our favorite green tomato recipes! A tangy twist on classic beef chili. Green tomatoes are swapped for traditional ripe red tomatoes then combined with ground beef, pinto beans, and poblano peppers for an irresistible chili recipe that uses us all of the green tomatoes still in the garden come fall. Use tomatillos to make this delicious chili the rest of the year! Hearty comfort food.
INGREDIENTS
1/4 cup olive oil
1 large white onion, diced
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 poblano peppers, seeded and diced
2 jalapeños, seeded and diced (you can leave seeds in if you like things spicy)
1 pound ground beef
1 tablespoon chili powder
1 tablespoon ground cumin
1 tablespoon dried oregano
2 teaspoons smoked paprika
2 teaspoons ground coriander
1 pound dry pinto beans, soaked overnight, drained and rinsed
3 large green tomatoes, diced or 12 ounces tomatillos, husks removed and diced
6 cups chicken broth, stock or water
1 tablespoon kosher salt
1 bunch cilantro, leaves and tender stems chopped
For the Garnish:
Sliced avocado
Grated sharp white cheddar cheese
Thinly sliced scallions
INSTRUCTIONS
To Sauté The Vegetables: Heat oil in a large stock pot with a tight-fitting lid over medium-high heat. Add onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until translucent. Add garlic, poblano peppers, and jalapeños and continue cooking until browned, about 10 minutes.
Add ground beef, chili powder, cumin, oregano, smoked paprika, and coriander and stir, breaking meat up with the back of your spoon. Cook until beef is browned, about 5 minutes more.
To Cook The Beans: Add beans, tomatoes or tomatillos, and broth and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer, covered until beans are tender, about 2 hours. Add salt and cook another hour. Taste and add more salt as needed; stir in cilantro right before serving.
To Serve: Ladle chili into bowls and pass garnishes like grated cheese, sliced scallions, and avocado at the table for everyone to garnish their own bowl.

My name is Kate Ramos and ¡Hola! Jalapeño is where we celebrate Mexican flavors!
I’m a white girl from the Midwest who dreamed of being a chef. So I moved to Napa Valley, did just that, and at the same time fell in love with the most charming Mexican-American man you’ll ever meet.While working in restaurant kitchens in California I also fell hard for Mexican cuisine, it’s ingredients, and the beauty, depth and vibrance of Mexican food.¡Hola! Jalapeño is a true expression of my love for this way of cooking. I am deeply reverent and very respectful of its traditions and its culture and I’m honored to be able to share its beauty with all of you.As the proud mother of two Mexican-American children, I also feel it is my responsibility to enrich their lives with the flavors of Mexico and so, selfishly, ¡Hola! Jalapeño is also a journal of the recipes they have grown up eating. One I hope they will turn to when they need a bit of home.My intention is to create easy Mexican dishes that merge authentic ingredients and flavors with modern preparations; embracing the fresh, healthy, simple cooking that is at the root of traditional Mexican cuisine.You can find more of my recipes and stories by clicking the links below.
