Directions
Heat the oil in a medium-sized heavy saucepan over medium heat.
Add the onions and cook until they are translucent.
Combine the meat with the ground chile, garlic, oregano, cumin, and salt.
Add this meat-and-spice mixture to the pan.
Break up any lumps with a fork and cook, stirring occasionally, about 15 minutes until the meat is evenly browned.
Add the tomatoes and green chiles with their liquid.
Bring to a boil, then lower the heat and simmer, uncovered, for 1 hour.
Stir occasionally, adding water if necessary.
Taste and adjust seasonings.
Allow to cool, then refrigerate.
When fat has risen and congealed, skim it off, than reheat chili.
