Serving Size: 1.5 cups, serves 6

1 tablespoon vegetable oil
3 medium onions, chopped
6 garlic cloves, chopped
Coarse-ground salt and ground pepper
1 can (6 ounces) tomato paste
3 tablespoons chili powder
2 tablespoons chopped canned chipotle chiles in adobo sauce
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 pound ground beef chuck
1 pounds ground turkey breast
4 cans (14.5 ounces each) diced tomatoes in juice
1 bottle (12 ounces) light beer
1 cans (14.5 ounces each) kidney beans, rinsed and drained
Optional: 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder

DIRECTIONS
1. In a Dutch oven or large (5-quart) heavy pot, heat oil over medium-high. Add onions and garlic. Season with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring occasionally until softened, 3 to 5 minutes.
2. Add tomato paste, chili powder, chipotles, and cinnamon. Cook, stirring, until mixture has begun to brown, 2 to 3 minutes. Add ground beef and turkey and cook, breaking it up with a spoon until no longer pink, about 5 minutes.
3. Add tomatoes with their juice, cocoa powder if using, beer, and beans. Bring to a boil, and reduce to a rapid simmer. Cook over medium heat until chili has thickened slightly and beans are tender, about 5 minutes.
