Instructions
In a large heavy-bottomed saucepan or Dutch oven, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Add the onion and cook until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for 30 seconds. Add chipotles and adobo sauce, stir to combine. Add chorizo, break it up with a wooden spoon, and cook stirring frequently until the chorizo starts to brown. Add beef, chili powder, oregano, cumin, cinnamon, salt and pepper. Stir to combine. Break beef up with a wooden spoon and stir frequently until beef and chorizo are cooked through, about 4-6 minutes.
Add tomato sauce, beans and tomato paste. Stir to combine well. Bring to boil, reduce to simmer for 10 minutes.
Serve with your choice of toppings; corn bread, fresh oregano, and Colby Jack cheese are perfect with this chili.
