EASY BLACK BEAN CHILI



Easy Black Bean Chili image

We love chili for its rib-sticking deliciousness, and this meatless version is no exception. Just because it's made with beans, and no meat, doesn't mean it's not filling. Cumin, chili powder and chiles add heat, while fire-roasted tomatoes, black beans and sweet corn give it extra flavor.

Provided by Robyn Fuoco

Categories     Bean     Tomato     Vegetarian     Quick & Easy     Wheat/Gluten-Free     Spice     Bell Pepper     Bon Appétit

Yield Makes 4 main-course servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

1/4 cup olive oil
2 cups chopped onions
1 2/3 cups coarsely chopped red bell peppers (about 2 medium)
6 garlic cloves, chopped
2 tablespoons chili powder
2 teaspoons dried oregano
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
3 15- to 16-ounce cans black beans, drained, 1/2 cup liquid reserved
1 16-ounce can tomato sauce
Chopped fresh cilantro
Sour cream
Grated MontereyJack cheese
Chopped green onions

Steps:

  • Heat oil in heavy large pot over medium-high heat. Add onions, bell peppers, and garlic; sauté until onions soften, about 10 minutes. Mix in chili powder, oregano, cumin, and cayenne; stir 2 minutes. Mix in beans, 1/2 cup reserved bean liquid, and tomato sauce. Bring chili to boil, stirring occasionally. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until flavors blend and chili thickens, stirring occasionally, about 15 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
  • Ladle chili into bowls. Pass chopped cilantro, sour cream, grated cheese, and green onions separately.

Tips:

  • Black Beans: Use high-quality canned black beans for the best flavor and texture. If using dried black beans, be sure to soak them overnight before cooking.
  • Veggies: Chop the vegetables into small pieces so that they cook evenly. You can also use a food processor to quickly and easily chop the veggies.
  • Spices: Don't be afraid to experiment with different spices to create a unique flavor profile. Some popular spices for black bean chili include chili powder, cumin, paprika, and oregano.
  • Salsa: Choose a salsa that you enjoy the flavor of. A medium-spiced salsa will give the chili a nice kick, while a mild salsa will keep it more mild.
  • Serve: Black bean chili is traditionally served with sour cream, shredded cheese, and chopped cilantro. You can also serve it with rice, tortilla chips, or cornbread.
