    • 3 garlic cloves, minced
    • 1 lb. ground beef
    • 1 (15-oz.) can of fire-roasted diced tomatoes
    • 1 (15-oz.) can of kidney beans, drained and rinsed
    • 1 tablespoon chili powder
    • 2 teaspoons cumin
    • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
    • 2 tablespoons Fustini's Jalapeño Lime balsamic
    • 3 cups low-sodium chicken broth
