Easy Vegan Chili

When we say “easy,” we mean less than 20 minutes from start-to-finish easy! Double the batch and use it as a topping for pasta or rice, or enjoy with corn chips as a quick and nutritious snack.

Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp oil
  • 1 yellow onion, diced
  • 1 bell pepper, diced
  • Four 15 oz cans of fire-roasted tomatoes
  • Three 15 oz cans of beans, drained and rinsed (can be any combination of black, kidney, or pinto beans)
  • One 15 oz can of corn (or 15 oz of frozen corn)
  • 2 tbsp chili powder – start with less if you don’t like spicy food–it’s easy to add more heat later!
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional toppings:
    • Vegan cheese
    • Vegan sour cream
    • Cilantro

Instructions

  1. Add the oil to a large pot over medium heat, along with the onions and bell peppers. Cook until they begin to soften, about 2-3 minutes. 
  2. Mix in the diced fire-roasted tomatoes, beans, corn, and chili powder.
  3. Bring to a boil and then lower the heat and simmer for 15 minutes. 
  4. Salt and pepper to taste.
