Ingredients
  

  • (Serves 6)
  • 1 tsp (5 ml) olive oil
  • 1 cup (240 ml) finely chopped onion
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 green or yellow bell pepper, chopped
  • 1 cup (240 ml) frozen corn
  • ¼ tsp chipotle chile powder, or to taste
  • 1 Tbs chili powder
  • 1 tsp (5 ml) ground cumin
  • 1 tsp (5 ml) dried oregano
  • 4½ cups cooked black beans, or 3 15-oz cans black beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1 14½-oz can diced tomatoes
  • To make the chili milder, omit the chipotle powder and reduce the regular chili powder to 2 teaspoons. (10 ml / 0.3 fl oz)
  • Load up your bowl with toppings! Sliced avocado, fresh cilantro, a dollop of vegan sour cream, or crushed tortilla chips add fantastic texture and flavor.
  • This chili tastes even better the next day! Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. It also freezes beautifully for up to 3 months.

Method
 

  1. Heat oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat.
  2. Add onion and garlic and sauté 2 to 3 minutes.
  3. Add bell pepper and corn and sauté 2 minutes more.
  4. Stir in chipotle powder, chili powder, cumin, and oregano and cook 1 minute until fragrant.
  5. Stir in the beans, tomatoes, and ¾ cup water.
  6. Reduce heat to medium-low, partially cover the pan, and simmer, stirring occasionally, for 20 minutes.
  7. If the chili becomes too thick, add up to ¼ cup hot water.
  8. Season with salt and pepper to taste before serving.
