Instructions
In large pan over medium high heat, heat oil and cook diced onion and bell pepper until slightly browned, about 10 minutes. Stir occasionally only to prevent burning. Add minced garlic, stir, and cook for a couple more minutes.
Add chili powder, cumin, oregano, salt, and tomato paste. Stir to combine and allow to cook for a few minutes.
Once the ingredients begin to stick to the bottom of the pan, add beer (or vegetable broth, if using) to pot and scrape bottom of pan to deglaze.
Stir in remaining ingredients. Allow to cook on stove until heated through, at least 15 minutes.
Garnish with freshly grated sharp cheddar, sour cream, avocado, and/or sliced green onions.
