Preparation

Step 1

Heat ancho chiles in 2 cups broth in saucepan over high until boiling. Off heat, let chiles soak until tender, 15 minutes. Purée mixture in a food processor, then strain through a fine-mesh sieve; discard solids.

Brown beef in two batches in 2 Tbsp. oil per batch in a skillet over medium-high heat, about 5 minutes per batch. Transfer beef to a 5- to 6-qt. slow cooker. Deglaze skillet with remaining ½ cup broth, scraping up any brown bits, then add to slow cooker.

Add puréed ancho chili mixture, onions, red and green bell peppers, garlic, chipotles, chili powder, cumin, and cinnamon to slow cooker. Top mixture with chopped and crushed tomatoes and hominy.

Cover slow cooker and cook chili until beef is tender on high setting, about 4 hours, or low setting, about 6 hours. Sprinkle in masa harina and stir to combine. Cook chili 30 minutes more, then stir in lime juice.

Garnish each serving with scallions.
