with Salsa Fresca, Sour Cream & Tortilla Chips
- Milk

It doesn’t matter if the weather’s hot or cold—chili is always in season! We’re keeping things simmering with ground pork, black beans, scallions, our Fajita Spice Blend, and a mildly spicy Tex-Mex paste. Top with sour cream, salsa fresca, tortilla chips, and a squeeze of lime juice; then, if you like, break out the hot sauce from your pantry if you like your chili fiery!

Cooking Steps
-
Wash and dry produce.
-
Trim and thinly slice scallions, separating whites from greens. Dice tomato into ¼-inch pieces. Quarter lime.
-
Heat a drizzle of oil in a medium pot over medium-high heat. Add scallion whites, pork*, half the tomato, half the Fajita Spice Blend, ½ tsp sugar, ½ tsp salt, and pepper (all the Fajita Spice Blend, 1 tsp sugar, and 1 tsp salt for 4 servings). Cook, breaking up meat into pieces, until browned, 2 minutes.
-
Stir in beans and their liquid, stock concentrate, Tex-Mex paste, and ⅓ cup water (⅔ cup for 4). Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer.
-
Cook, stirring occasionally and mashing half the beans with the back of a wooden spoon, until pork is cooked through, 4-6 minutes. TIP: For a thinner chili, add water a splash at a time until desired consistency is reached.
-
While chili cooks, in a small bowl, combine scallion greens, remaining tomato, juice from half the lime, a pinch of salt, and pepper.
-
Divide chili between bowls. Top with sour cream, salsa fresca, and a squeeze of lime juice. Serve with tortilla chips and any remaining lime wedges on the side.
