Cooking the dish according to the recipe:


  1. Heat olive oil in a Dutch oven or large saucepan over medium heat. Add ground beef and cook, breaking up any lumps, until golden brown, about 3 minutes.

    Add the onion, poblano garlic, and garlic; cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are softened and browned, about 5 minutes. Stir in the chili powder, cumin, 1 teaspoon salt, and a few grinds of black pepper. Cook, stirring, for about 1 minute to combine all the ingredients.
  2. Add the tomatoes and beans to the pan with the liquid from the can. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for about 5 minutes, until the liquid has evaporated slightly.

    Add the sliced ​​zucchini to the pan. Cover partially and cook, stirring occasionally, until the zucchini is tender and the chili has thickened slightly, about 10 minutes. (Add water, no more than 1/2 cup, if the chili is too thick.) Season with salt. Top each serving of chili with an avocado and sprinkle with cilantro.
