6. 6

   Return the browned meat to the pot with the onion mixture.

7. 7

   Add the white corn, crushed tomatoes, petite diced tomatoes, tomato paste, and beer.

8. 8

   Season with additional salt and black pepper to taste. Bring the chili to a boil, then cover the Dutch oven.

   Reduce the heat and simmer for 2 hours, stirring occasionally while it simmers.

10. 10

    Serve the chili with sliced green onions, chopped cilantro, sliced jalapeños, grated cheddar cheese, and lime wedges.

Notes

The Instagram description states that the creator replaced the beer with water, but the linked page's structured recipe data lists beer and is treated as authoritative. The source does not specify the amount of chipotle pepper numerically beyond “tablespoon.”
