How to Make Aztec Gold Chili
- Heat olive oil in a large microwave-safe bowl. Add onion, bell peppers, and garlic; cook on high for 2-3 minutes, stirring once.
- Stir in cumin, chili powder, oregano, cayenne pepper (if using), and salt.
- Add 1-2 teaspoons of water if the mixture becomes too dry.
- Continue microwaving on high for 2-3 minutes, or until onions are tender-crisp. Let stand for 3 minutes.
- Stir in ground turkey.
- Microwave on high for 10-13 minutes, or until turkey is partially cooked, stirring once halfway through.
- Add crushed tomatoes, kidney beans, green chilies, and chopped chocolate.
- Mix well to combine all ingredients.
- Microwave on medium-high for 30-40 minutes, stirring twice, or until the chili has thickened and the flavors have melded. (Adjust cooking time depending on your microwave's power).
- Serve hot, topped with sour cream, grated cheese, diced onions, and tortilla chips.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
