Tips:

  • Prep the veggies: Chop the onion, bell pepper, and jalapeño finely. Mince the garlic and ginger.
  • Use a variety of beans: This recipe calls for black beans, kidney beans, and pinto beans, but you can use any combination of beans you like. Just be sure to use a total of 3 cups of beans.
  • Add some spice: If you like your chili spicy, add an extra jalapeño or two. You can also add a teaspoon of chili powder or cayenne pepper.
  • Don't overcook the chili: The chili is done when the beans are tender and the vegetables are cooked through. Overcooking will make the chili mushy.
  • Serve with your favorite toppings: Chili is delicious served with sour cream, shredded cheese, diced avocado, or chopped cilantro.
