- 2 tablespoons chili powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro (optional, for garnish)
- Sauté Vegetables: In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and garlic, and sauté until softened, about 3-4 minutes.

- Simmer: Bring the chili to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and simmer for 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally, to allow the flavors to meld together.
- Adjust Seasoning: Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed.
- Serve: Ladle the chili into bowls and garnish with chopped fresh cilantro, if desired. Serve hot with your favorite toppings like shredded cheese, sour cream, or avocado.
