Fully Loaded Steak Fajita Chili

by Mary 8 Comments

The best chili for any game day celebration is Fully Loaded Steak Fajita Chili! You have to try this recipe! ad #SouperbowlThe weather is cold but the excitement is hot when it comes to the big game. The only way to properly celebrate is by creating a delicious food spread to enjoy while watching the game from the big screen. Well, the biggest screen you have in your living room that is.

Today I’m sharing my fully loaded steak fajita chili. Not only does it taste amazing served up in a big bowl topped completely with all the fixin’s, but it’s also perfect for some fajita chili themed chili dogs, chili fries, chili mac or just about anything else you can dream up to put chili on.

Before we get ahead of ourselves, let’s get the steak fajita chili recipe moving.

Fully Loaded Steak Fajita Chili

This chili is a spin on my thick and chunky chili, so if you liked that one, you’re going to love this recipe.

Start out by grabbing a couple of decent sized steaks. I used ribeye, but sirloin would work just as well. Cut them into bite sized pieces, removing the bulk of the fat. I like to have them slightly frozen to keep the steak firm for more precise cuts.

Once all the steak is cut season it generously with salt and pepper, heat a tablespoon or two of oil in the bottom of a large pot and sear the steak, browning it on all sides.

Reserve  about a quarter to a half cup of the diced red peppers for topping later. Add in the remaining peppers and onions to the steak and let it cook a bit until softened slightly.

You have to try this recipe! ad #SouperbowlOnce the veggies are cooked down just a bit add in a couple of cans of black beans, drained and rinsed. I added three cans this time and I thought it was a little too much, so I would drop it down to two unless you really love a black bean flavor. In that case go all out with three cans. Your chili, your choice!

I buy the big cans of it to have on hand. It makes a great chili! With that added it’s time to mix in your fajita spices. Adjust these spices to your taste, but for me it’s two tablespoons chili powder, two teaspoons cumin, one teaspoon oregano, and one to two minced garlic cloves. You can add more salt and pepper if needed at this point, but I usually don’t need to. It all depends on how much you added to the steak earlier and how much you prefer for flavor.

Normally I would tell you to simmer this chili all day long, but with the extra beans in there it thickened and built flavor fast.

While you wait for the chili to heat up you can prep your toppings. For Steak Fajita Chili I want toppings I would enjoy on a steak fajita. My choice toppings are white onions, mozzarella cheese, lime wedges, avocado, diced red pepper, diced tomatoes, sour cream, cilantro and tortilla strips.

    Looks so good. I do not eat red meat what would you use as an alternative?

      I think chicken would be an excellent substitute! It would be more like chicken fajitas then. If you wanted to go the seafood route, I think shrimp might taste good here too, but I haven’t been adventurous enough in my life to add shrimp to my chili, lol. Obviously if you go with shrimp, wait til closer to the end to add it so it doesn’t get overcooked.

          If you try it let me know how it turns out! I’m kind of curious now. Actually, now I sort of want to put all of it together and turn it into a Southern/Mexican twist with Fajita Gumbo, LOL. I think they would pair nicely…maybe… or not…
