Preparation

Heat a large heavy-bottomed pot (or Dutch oven) over medium-low heat. Add the coconut oil then the onions, peppers, garlic, salt, cumin, chili powder, and ground beef. Saute until the beef is fully cooked.

Add all of the remaining ingredients except for the chips and sour cream.

Bring to a boil, then simmer the chili over low heat until the onions and peppers are tender, about 30 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

When ready to serve, top a bowl of the chili with a dollop of sour cream (optional) and a few blue corn tortilla chips
