- 2 pounds ground beef 93% lean
- 1 medium yellow onion chopped finely
- 3 garlic cloves minced
- 2 tablespoons taco seasoning (No need to add salt this is plenty)
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1 1/2 cups mild red chile powder (or 16 ounce frozen red chile)
- 4 cups water
- 3 cans (16 ounces) pinto beans
- Cilantro for garnish
- Directions: In a large soup pot sauté ground beef with onion.
- Cook until meat is cooked medium – slightly pink and the onions are translucent.
- Then add taco seasoning, cumin, chili powder and garlic.
- Mix until all spices are incorporated throughout.
- Add water and beans let simmer about 45 minutes on medium-low heat with no cover.
- It is dry here in New Mexico so the water evaporates quickly – I like the chili thick and not too runny.

Absolutely delicious! Another great use for red chile!
Hi! This looks delicious and I’ve been wanting to try it.
I can’t find anything called mild red chile powder in my grocery store, is it the same as chili powder? Just want to be sure before I make it.
Thank you!
Yes, you can use chili powder. Chili powder usually has other ingredients added to it. Check you local Mexican market for 100% ground red chile powder.
