Step 1

Pour enough corn oil into straight-sided skillet set over medium-high heat to come 1/2-inch up side; heat until shimmering (350°F), but not smoking. Cook corn tortilla wedges, in batches, for 1 to 2 minutes, or until crisp and golden-brown. Transfer to paper-towel-lined plate to drain; set aside.

Step 2

Heat olive oil in large pot over medium heat. Add onions and peppers, and cook until soft, about 5 minutes. Add ground beef and cook until browned, breaking up meat with a wooden spoon, about 3-5 minutes. Stir in broth, beans, tomato sauce, enchilada sauce, chipotle and chili powder and bring to a simmer. Stir in pasta and cook, stirring frequently, until al dente and chili thickens, about 12-15 minutes.

Step 3

Stir in cheddar cheese and Adobo until smooth and creamy. Divide chili mac-and-cheese among serving bowls. Top with tortilla strips, queso quesadilla, jalapeños and green onions. Serve and enjoy. Note: Substitute ground beef with turkey to make a lighter version.
