Smokey Five Bean Chili

1 tablespoon oil
1 large white onion, diced
1 large poblano pepper, diced (remove seeds and membrane for less spicy)
2 teaspoons minced garlic
2 pounds ground beef
5 cans of different beans (black, pinto, light red, great northern, black eyed peas)
3 cans petite diced tomatoes
1 can tomato sauce
1/2 cup beef broth
2 teaspoons smoked paprika
1 tablespoon chili powder
2 teaspoons cumin
1 tablespoon oregano
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
1 teaspoon salt (plus more to taste)
fresh ground pepper
1/3 cup crushed tortilla chips

Saute onion and poblano in oil. Add garlic, saute for a couple more minutes. Add beef and cook until brown (you may want to drain off some fat at this point if you used a beef with a high fat content). Add beans, tomatoes, tomato sauce, beef broth, and all the spices. Add crushed chips (this takes the place of masa by thickening the chili but also adds flavor). Season with salt to taste (after you add chips, because that can add a lot of salt).
