To a
large Dutch oven, optionally add the oil, beef, onion, and cook over medium-high heat until beef is cooked through and onions are translucent, about 7 to 8 minutes; crumble beef as it cooks and stir intermittently to ensure even cooking.
Add the garlic and cook for about 1 minute, or until fragrant; stir nearly constantly.
Add the taco seasoning, cumin, chili powder, pepper, and stir to incorporate.
Add the the tomatoes, black beans, kidney beans, green chiles, corn, broth (if you prefer thicker chili start with 2/3 to 3/4 of the container), salt to taste, bay leaves, optional cayenne, and stir to combine.
Bring to boil and allow chili to gently boil for about 5 to 10 minutes or until chili has reduced and thickened some.
Add the cilantro and stir to combine.
Stir, taste, optionally add sugar to taste (sugar balances the acid from the tomatoes), optional lemon/lime juice (brightens up the flavor), and additional salt, pepper, etc. if desired.
Remove bay leaves, ladle into bowls, and optionally garnish with cheese, sour cream, avocado, etc.
