More and more people are trying to eat less meat and go for a vegetarian dinner. So here's a great recipe that I make on a regular basis. You won't miss the meat! Trust me! It's fast, easy and SO delicious. It's also healthy, low-cal and low-fat. In this recipe, I use some canned items, but obviously fresh is always best. So use whichever is most convenient for you.
Fiesta Chili
I serve this with a simple, eggless, dairy-free corn bread. If you're interested, ask me for the recipe! :) If you're low on time, just serve with tortilla chips!
Things you'll need:
A large Pot/Dutch Oven
4 Sm. Cans of Black Beans - Drained & Rinsed
1 Sm. Can of Kidney Beans - Drained & Rinsed
1 Sm. Can of Diced Tomatoes
1 Sm. Can of White or Sweet Corn
1 Medium Yellow Onion - Diced
1 Medium Bell Pepper (I like yellow the best) - Diced
2 Crushed Garlic Cloves
1 16 oz. Jar of your favorite Salsa (or use your own fresh salsa!)
3 C. Chicken or Vegetable Stock
1 T. Cumin
1 T. Chili Powder
1/2 t. Oregano
1/2 t. Paprika (optional)
1 t. honey or agave
A Pinch of Crushed Red Pepper
Fresh Cilantro - minced
Salt & Pepper to taste
Put the pot/dutch oven on a med/high heat. Drizzle a little olive oil in the pan. Add onion. Cook for about 3-4 minutes or until onions soften. Add bell pepper, garlic and spices. Cook for another 2-3 minutes. Then, add everything except the stock. Mix everything together and cook for about 5 minutes--allowing all the flavors to come together. Add the stock. Bring to a boil, then put the heat on low and simmer for 20 minutes. Serve with crushed tortilla chips, cilantro and sour cream on top and enjoy!
