Stir in the garlic and cook for 1 minute, until you can start to smell it. Drain away any grease.

Sir in the chili powder, cumin, coriander, pepper flakes, oregano, and cayenne. Cook, stirring occasionally for 5 minutes, so the spices can start to bloom and release their flavor.

If the chili sticks to the bottom of the pan, add 1/2 cup of water, and continue to simmer. Add salt to taste. Serve with desired garnishes.
