Yield: 6 servings

Black Bean Chili

Ingredients

  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil
  • 2 teaspoons garlic, minced
  • 1-30 ounce can black beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1-15 ounce can diced tomatoes
  • 1 tablespoon chili powder
  • 1/2 cup cilantro, chopped (or desired amount for topping)
  • 1/4 cup teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. In a medium pot, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Add the onions and sauté until they are soft and translucent.
  2. Add the rest of the ingredients, except the cilantro, and stir.
  3. Bring the ingredients to a boil, then reduce heat to a simmer.
  4. Cover the pot and simmer for about 20 minutes. Stir occasionally.
  5. Add a little more salt, if desired.
  6. Top with chopped cilantro and serve.

Notes

When cooking, watch for liquid to evaporate. If it does, add some water. Do not let chili go dry on the bottom of the pan.

Serve alone or over rice, potatoes, couscous or quinoa. It is also great as a dip for tortilla chips and in a burrito!

Delicious topped with sour cream, salsa, guacamole, diced onions and shredded cheese.

Use 1 - 30 oz. can of black beans or 2 - 15 oz. cans.
