1 Tablespoon chili powder
1 teaspoon cumin
1 teaspoon oregano
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
(1) 14 oz. can diced tomatoes
(2) 16 oz. cans black beans, rinsed and drained (OR 1 can black beans & one can kidney beans)
1 cup corn
1/3 cup fresh cilantro, chopped (optional)
Add chopped onion, bell pepper, jalapeno, garlic and oil to large skillet. Cook over medium heat until vegies are soft (about 5 mins). Add spices, tomatoes (undrained)and beans and simmer for 15 mins. Stir in corn, cook 2 mins. Add cilantro and serve.
-You can add water for a soupier consistency.
-Use only one jalapeno and omit the cayenne if you don't like spicy.
-This recipe is great for big groups, and the recipe can be stretched by serving the chili over elbow macaroni. Enjoy!
