Instructions
1
In a large skillet or Dutch oven, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, sautéing until they are soft and fragrant, about 3-4 minutes.
2
Add the ground round beef to the skillet, breaking it up with a spatula. Cook until it is browned thoroughly, approximately 6-8 minutes. Drain any excess fat from the skillet.
3
Stir in the drained pinto beans, diced tomatoes, salt, dried Mexican oregano, beer, Jack Daniel's whiskey, chili powder, black pepper, and sugar. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
4
Reduce the heat to medium and allow the chili to cook uncovered for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
5
In a small bowl, dissolve the masa harina flour in warm water. Stir this mixture into the chili, allowing it to thicken for an additional 7-10 minutes.
6
To serve, place a generous amount of tortilla chips on a plate or in a bowl. Ladle the chili over the chips and top with chopped red onion and grated sharp cheddar cheese.
