Mexican Chili

After browsing a number of chili recipes, I took all the ideas into consideration and created my own recipe. I made this dish for a potluck.

Ingredients:
1 lb ground meat (turkey, chicken, beef, pork, etc)
1 lg onion, chopped
1 green bell pepper, chopped
1 red bell pepper, chopped
3 cans black beans
1 can corn
1 can fire roasted diced tomatoes
1 cup chicken stock
2-3 hot peppers, finely diced (jalapeno, habanero, Thai chili, whatever you want!)
8-10 cloves roasted garlic
1 bunch cilantro, divided
2 tsp chili powder
1 tsp garlic powder
2 tsp cumin
1/2 tsp red pepper flakes
1/4 tsp cayenne
Salt and Pepper
1 Lime
