You\u2019ll never miss the meat in this bean-protein-packed chili.\u00a0 Spoon dollops of it on top of a steaming baked potato or slab of cornbread, eat it with chips in place of salsa, make a breakfast scramble with crumbled tofu and tortillas, use it as a burrito or taco filling\u2026or simply eat it the way I do: with a spoon and the heel of a baguette. Bursting with flavor and fiber, it’s sure to become a new fave.<\/p>\n<\/h2>\n

Directions<\/h3>\n
\n
\n
\n

Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat and add the onions, garlic, and bell peppers. Saut\u00e9 until the onions are translucent and soft, about 10 minutes.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

Add the seasonings (chili powder, oregano, cumin, and cayenne) and stir for 2 minutes.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

Then, add the tomato sauce, beans, and \u00bd cup of reserved black bean liquid. Bring the chili to a boil, stirring occasionally.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

When the chili has reached a boil, reduce the heat to medium low and simmer until flavors blend and thicken to your liking, at least 15 minutes.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

Season to taste with salt to taste, then top with chopped cilantro, if desired.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"author":4608,"featured_media":1456,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","recipe_category":[2706],"yst_prominent_words":[2484,2276,791,1600],"class_list":["post-20363","cp_recipe","type-cp_recipe","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","cp_recipe_category-soup_and_stews"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/lifeandhealth.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cooked_recipe\/20363","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/lifeandhealth.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cooked_recipe"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/lifeandhealth.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/cp_recipe"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lifeandhealth.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4608"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lifeandhealth.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=20363"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lifeandhealth.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1456"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/lifeandhealth.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=20363"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"cp_recipe_category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lifeandhealth.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/recipe_category?post=20363"},{"taxonomy":"yst_prominent_words","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lifeandhealth.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/yst_prominent_words?post=20363"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
