Ingredients
  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil (EVOO)
  • 1 large onion, chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, chopped or grated
  • 1 red bell pepper, chopped
  • Salt and pepper
  • 2 tablespoons chili powder
  • 1 tablespoon ground cumin
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 1/2 bottle beer, about 1 cup
  • 3 cups leftover gravy
  • 2 15-ounce cans black beans, drained
  • 5 to 6 cups leftover roast pork, chopped into bite-size pieces
  • Zest of 1 lime
  • 2 cups crushed yellow or white corn tortilla chips
  • Sour cream for garnish
Preparation

Heat a large pot over medium-high heat with 2 turns of the pan EVOO, about 2 tablespoons. Add the onions, garlic and red bell pepper, salt, pepper, chili powder, ground cumin and bay leaf. Cook stirring frequently for 3-4 minutes, until the veggies start to get tender.

Add the beer and continue to cook for 2-3 more minutes.

Add leftover gravy and black beans, and bring it up to a simmer. Add the cooked pork and cook to heat the pieces through, just a couple of minutes.

Serve the chili in bowls and top with some of the crushed tortillas, lime zest and a dollop of sour cream.
