Preparation

Step 1

In Dutch oven, saute beef over medium-high heat, breaking up with spoon, until no longer pink, about 5 minutes. Drain off fat. Add onion, red pepper, carrot, celery, garlic, chili powder, cumin, oregano, salt and pepper; fry over medium heat, stirring, until vegetables are softened, about 5 minutes.

Stir in tomatoes; bring to boil. Reduce heat and simmer until thick enough to mound on spoon, about 20 minutes. Stir in beans, corn and tomato paste; simmer until bubbling, about 5 minutes. Sir in coriander and lime juice. Sprinkle with cheese.
