Ingredients

1 lb. ground beef or for healthier options, ground turkey, or ground chicken
2 tbsp vegetable oil
1 red bell pepper diced
1 green bell pepper diced
½ white onion
28 oz red tomatoes diced 28 oz can
1 tbsp salt
½ tbsp pepper
2 tbsp chili
1 tbsp ground cumin
1 tbsp paprika
1 tbsp garlic powder
1 tbsp cayenne pepper
tbsp masa harina as needed to thicken

Instructions

Set your instant pot to sauté mode. Add 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil.
Once your oil is hot, add your bell peppers, and onion. Sauté well to release the flavors until softened. About two minutes.
Add your ground meat to the Instant pot. Brown.
Add all of your seasonings except for the masa harina. Mix well.
Put the lid on your instant pot by twisting the lid and closing the valve by pushing it away from you. Set It to the pressure for zero minutes. It will take about 10 to 15 minutes to build to pressure. Once it is done cooking, let the pressure release naturally for 15 minutes. Then use a hot pad or towel to carefully turn the valve to release the rest.
Once all of the pressure has been released, twist open the Instant pot lid and remove. Add 1 tablespoon of the masa harina if so desired to thicken your chili. Continue to add 1 tablespoon at a time until desired consistency.
Serve this chili in a bowl as is topped with sour cream, jalapeños, and chives! You can also top it on a hotdog for a chili dog! Enjoy!

Notes

If you do not have masa harina, you can use a flour or cornstarch slurry to thicken your chili instead.
