Heat oil in a large Dutch oven or pot over medium heat.
Sauté onions and garlic until onions are translucent.
Add all remaining items to the pot except cilantro. Bring to a boil over medium heat and then reduce to a simmer.
Simmer at least 1 hour. I like to cook mine for 4 or more! Taste after 45 minutes and adjust salt, pepper, paprika and chili powder.
Notes
This recipe, as written, makes a medium spicy chili. If you are especially sensitive to spice, use half the chili powder, paprika, and cayenne pepper. You can always add more.
