Instructions
Chili:
- Heat olive oil in a large pot or dutch oven over medium high heat. Add onion, garlic, and chipotle and cook for 1 to 2 minutes until onions are translucent. Add tomatoes and ground beef to pan and start to break up the meat into small chunks as it cooks. Continue until no pink remains on meat.
- Add tomato sauce, water, and beans to pot and reduce heat to medium low. 3. Add remaining ingredients for chili and stir very well, then reduce heat to low and allow chili to simmer for at least 45 minutes to develop it's awesome flavor. This is a good time to make your fries.
Fries: - Cut potatoes into fries lengthwise and place them in a large bowl of cold water to soak for about 15 minutes.Drain potatoes and lay out on a clean towel and pat dry. Allow them to continue drying as much as possible while you heat the oil.
- Heat a few inches of oil in a large, high-sided skillet or deep fryer to medium high heat, if using a thermometer about 350 degrees F. Line 2 large plates with paper towels and set nearby.
- When oil is hot drop a large handful carefully in and fry, turning gently, for 2 to 3 minutes. Remove with a wire spoon and drop onto 1 of prepared plates. 6. Continue frying until all fries have been fried once. Now, starting with the bottom of your pile start frying them a second time for 1 to 2 minutes until crispy. Remove to second paper towel plate and repeat until all fries are nice and crispy.
Chili Fries: - Top servings of fries with chili, cheese, sour cream, and fresh cilantro if desired.

I am glad to see that you've included cocoa powder in this chili recipe! I use a dark chocolate bar in mine and it is amazing as a secret ingredient because you can't place what exactly makes it taste so good! Excellent recipe!
