No need to choose a hearty chili or a comforting pasta...have BOTH! :) This works oh so well!
Ingredients
1 Tbsp olive oil
1 onion, diced
3 cloves garlic, chopped
1½ Tbsp chili powder
1 tsp paprika
1 tsp ground cumin
1 lb 96% lean ground beef
4 cups low-sodium beef broth or chicken broth
1 (15 oz) can black beans, drained and rinsed
1 (28 oz) can diced tomatoes
1 Tbsp tomato paste
1 tsp oregano
9 oz fresh spinach and cheese tortellini
¼ tsp cayenne, more or less to taste
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a pot over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the onions and saute until tender, about 3-5 minutes. Add the garlic, chili powder, paprika, and cumin and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Add the beef and cook until browned, breaking up with a wooden spoon, about 6-8 minutes. If needed, drain any excess grease.
To the pot, add the broth, beans, diced tomatoes, tomato paste, and oregano, bringing to a simmer. Once simmering, add the tortellini and cool until tender and cooked through, about 10 minutes. Serve immediately with toppings of choice.
