The pressure cooker does a fantastic job of tenderizing the tough cut of meat and keeping it moist. It also delivers a nuanced, rich-tasting chili in just over an hour. A touch of chocolate stirred in at the end balances and deepens flavors.
How to Make It
Step 1
Place tortillas in the bowl of a food processor; process to form fine crumbs.
Step 2
Heat a 6-quart pressure cooker over medium-high heat. Add 1 teaspoon oil to pan; swirl to coat. Sprinkle beef with 1/2 teaspoon salt. Add one-third of beef to pan; sauté 3 minutes or until browned on all sides. Remove beef from pan. Repeat procedure twice more with 1 teaspoon oil and one-third of beef.
Step 3
Add remaining oil to pan; swirl to coat. Add onion and garlic; sauté 3 minutes. Add tortilla crumbs, chili powder, and next 8 ingredients; stir well. Stir in beef.

Remove from heat; let stand 20 minutes. Place cooker under cold running water to release pressure. Remove lid; stir in chocolate and remaining salt, stirring until chocolate melts. Top with green onions and radish, if desired.
