Perfect Low Carb Tex Mex Chili (QUICK & EASY!)

Delicious Tex Mex Chili!
Ingredients:
2 tablespoons avocado or olive oil
1/4 of a yellow onion, chopped
2 stalks celery, chopped
1 red bell pepper, chopped
2 - 4 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1 pound organic ground beef
1 tablespoon chili powder
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
2 teaspoons ground cumin
2 teaspoons dried oregano flakes
2 tablespoons smoked paprika
pink Himalayan salt or sea salt
freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup strong coffee
1 3/4 cups beef broth
garnishes:
1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese
3 tablespoons sour cream
1 tablespoon sliced green onions

Method:
In a large pot, or dutch oven, heat the oil over medium/low heat. Add the onion, celery and pepper; saute until soft, about 6 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for an additional minute. Push the vegetables to one side of the pan. Add the beef and cook, stirring occasionally, until the meat is no longer pink. Drain off the fat. 
Return the pan to the stove. Add the spices. Cook and stir over low heat for a couple of minutes. Add the coffee and broth. Stir. Simmer, over low heat, for 20 to 30 minutes, or until most of the broth evaporates.
Ladle into 2 bowls. Garnish each portion with half of the cheese, sour cream and onions.
Makes 2 hearty servings or 4 smaller servings.
