Dice the onion and tomatoes. Set them aside.
Heat 1 teaspoon of olive oil in a pot over medium heat.
Add the lean ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it apart as it cooks. This should take about 6-8 minutes.
Add the diced onion to the pot and continue cooking for another 3-4 minutes, until the onion is soft and translucent.
Stir in the spices (chili powder, cumin, oregano), salt, and black pepper. Cook for 1 minute until the spices are fragrant.
Add the diced tomatoes, kidney beans, and 1 cup of water to the pot.
Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce to a simmer. Cover the pot and let it cook for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Remove the lid and simmer for an additional 5 minutes to thicken the chili if desired. Adjust seasoning with more salt and pepper to taste.
Serve hot, garnished with additional toppings like chopped cilantro, if desired.
