Ingredients

4 (28 ounce) cans diced tomatoes
2 pounds lean ground beef
2 pounds chorizo sausage
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 large onions, chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
3 tablespoons ground cumin
2 tablespoons chili powder
2 (15.5 ounce) cans black beans, rinsed and drained
1 (15.5 ounce) can pinto beans, rinsed and drained
1 (15.5 ounce) can small red kidney beans, rinsed and drained
2 tablespoons lime juice
1 tablespoon salt
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 large green bell pepper, chopped
1 large red bell pepper, chopped
1 large yellow bell pepper, chopped
14 ⅜ ounces frozen corn
1 dash hot sauce (such as Frank's RedHot ), or more to taste
¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro, or more to taste

Directions

Pour tomatoes into a large stockpot and heat over medium heat.
Meanwhile, cook and stir ground beef in a large skillet over medium-high heat until browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes. Drain and discard grease. Transfer beef to the stockpot.
Cook and stir chorizo in the skillet over medium-high heat until browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes. Drain and discard grease. Transfer chorizo to the stockpot.
Add oil to the skillet and heat over medium-high heat. Add onions and garlic; sauté until very well cooked and translucent, 7 to 10 minutes. Add cumin and chili powder and cook for about 3 more minutes. Transfer onions to the stockpot.
Stir beans into the stockpot, then add lime juice, salt, and black pepper.
Heat the skillet again over medium-high heat. Add bell peppers and lightly sauté for about 5 minutes. Add to the stockpot.
Add corn to the stockpot and season with hot sauce, salt, and black pepper. Simmer for 30 minutes, then sprinkle cilantro on top and serve.
