Spicy Chipotle Pulled Pork Chili

Greg say this Spicy Chipotle Pulled Pork Chili was the best chili he has ever had!!! 

Chili is one of my fave meals so I’m excited it’s finally cool enough outside to make it. I used an Instant Pot but you can use a crock pot. Just make sure you sear the pork on the stove first before you add it to the crock pot. Then set it to low for 6 hours. 

I like my chili pretty spicy, but if you don’t, just do a little of the chipotle pepper, or remove completely.

Ingredients:

• 1 lb pork tenderloin 

• 1 tbs avocado oil 

• 1 cup beef broth 

• 1 28 oz. can crushed tomatoes 

• 1 can kidney beans 

• 1/2 onion, diced

• 3 large carrots, peeled and diced 

• 1 red bell pepper, diced 

• 2 garlic cloves, minced 

• 1 can pinto beans 

• 1 can red kidney beans 

• 1 tsp chili powder

• 1 tsp chipotle powder 

• 1 tsp garlic powder 

• 1 tsp cumin

• 1/2 tsp cayenne 

• 1/2 tsp smoked paprika 

• 1 7oz can of chipotle peppers in adobo sauce 

Directions:

1. Turn your Instant Pot on on sauté mode. Add avocado oil. Cut tenderloin into 4 large chunks. Season all sides with salt and pepper. Sear tenderloin chunks in the IP, 5 min each side until there is a nice crust. Remove and set to the side. 

2. Now add the diced onion, carrots, bell peppers and garlic to the IP. Add a little more oil if you need it! Sauté until they are soft, about 5 minutes. 

3. Next add the beans, diced tomatoes and all the seasonings. Mix well. 

4. Open the can of chipotle peppers, remove the seeds and dice. I used three and it was spicyyyy. I also add about 3 tbsp of the adobo sauce which also added to the spice. So if you don’t want a lot of heat just do 1-2. 

5. Close the IP and set on manual for 40 min, let release for 10 min. 

6. Remove the pork and shred it. Then add it back to the chili. Top with whatever you want! Cheese, sour cream, tortilla chips, green onions, jalapeños. The world is your oyster!
