    MMMMM-----------------------TO SERVE (OPT----------------------------
    Grated sharp Cheddar
    Sour cream
    Hot sauce
    Sliced scallions
    Chopped white onion
    Cilantro leaves
    Crushed tortilla or corn
    - chips

    Heat the oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over
    medium-high. Working in batches if necessary to avoid
    crowding the pot, use your hands to break the beef into
    small chunks (about 2 inches each) and add a single
    layer to the pot. Season with salt and pepper, then
    cook, flipping once, until browned on two sides, 4 to 6
    minutes. (Meat won't be cooked through.) Transfer to a
    bowl, leaving the fat in the pot.

    Reduce heat to medium, add the onion and season with
    salt and pepper. Cook until softened, 3 to 4 minutes.
    Add the garlic, cumin and chilli powder, and stir until
    fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes.

    Add the chipotle pepper and adobo sauce, plus the beef
    and any juices in the bowl. Use a spoon or potato masher
    to break up the beef into small pieces. Stir in the
    tomato sauce and cocoa powder.

    Cover, reduce heat to low and cook, stirring frequently
    to avoid scorching, until the beef is tender and the
    sauce is flavorful, 25 to 30 minutes.

    Add the beans, including their liquid, and cook,
    uncovered, stirring often, until the liquid is slightly
    thickened and the beans are warm, 10 to 15 minutes. Let
    sit for 5 minutes, then stir in the apple cider vinegar.
    Taste and add salt until chilli is rich and loudly
    spiced. Eat with desired toppings. Chilli keeps for up to
    3 days refrigerated; warm over low heat and adjust
    consistency and seasonings with water, salt, vinegar and
    chilli spice. (Leftovers will keep for up to 4 months if
    frozen.)
