- 1 teaspoon cayenne
- 3 teaspoon tomato paste
- 2 lbs. lean ground beef
- 3 chipotle chilis chopped with 2 tablespoon adobo sauce
- 1 cup Malbec (or red wine of choice)
- 28 oz. can crushed tomatoes

Chili Lime Tortilla Chips
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon lime juice

Instructions
- Pour olive oil to a large dutch oven or stockpot and turn heat to medium-high. Add onion and garlic and stir. Add chili powder, oregano, and cayenne and let cook for about 4 minutes, until onions are translucent.
- Stir in the tomato paste and cook for about a minute before putting ground beef into the pot. Break up beef with a wooden spoon and cook until the meat is no longer pink, about 3-4 minutes.

- Stir in the tomatoes, beans, and pumpkin.
- Turn down the heat, cover, and simmer gently for about 20 minutes. If chili is too thick, feel free to thin out with more red wine or water.
