Ingredients
  

1 lb ground beef (or ground turkey for a lighter option)

1 medium onion, chopped

2 cloves garlic, minced

2 cups Hatch green chilies, roasted and diced (fresh or canned)

1 can (15 oz) black beans, drained and rinsed

1 can (15 oz) diced tomatoes, with juices

1 cup corn kernels (fresh, frozen, or canned)

2 tsp ground cumin

1 tsp smoked paprika

1 tsp chili powder

½ tsp salt (adjust to taste)

½ tsp black pepper

2 cups chicken or vegetable broth

4 cups cooked rice (white, brown, or cauliflower rice)

Optional toppings: shredded cheese, sour cream, avocado, fresh cilantro, lime wedges, tortilla chips

Instructions
 

Sauté the Aromatics: In a pan over medium heat, add a drizzle of olive oil. Once hot, add the chopped onion and minced garlic. Sauté for about 3-5 minutes until the onion is translucent.

    Brown the Meat: Add the ground beef (or turkey) to the pan with the onions and garlic. Cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spoon. Drain any excess fat.

      Combine Ingredients: Transfer the browned meat mixture into the slow cooker. Add the diced Hatch green chilies, black beans, diced tomatoes (with juices), corn, ground cumin, smoked paprika, chili powder, salt, pepper, and broth. Stir to combine all ingredients well.

        Slow Cook: Cover the slow cooker and cook on low for 6-8 hours or high for 3-4 hours, until the flavors meld together and the mixture is heated thoroughly.

          Prepare the Rice: About 20 minutes before serving, cook your rice according to package instructions.

            Serve: To assemble the burrito bowls, place a generous scoop of the Hatch chili mixture over a bed of cooked rice. Top with your desired toppings such as shredded cheese, sour cream, avocado, fresh cilantro, and a squeeze of lime. Add some crunchy tortilla chips on the side for extra texture!
