Ingredients

2 - 16 oz. cans of diced Tomatoes
1 large Onion, diced
16 oz. can Pinto Beans
16 oz. can Kidney Beans
16 oz. can Black Beans
1 lb. Tofu (cubed) or cooked meat
16 oz. can of Corn
1 Bell Pepper, diced
1 Tbs Garlic, chopped or crushed
2 Tbs Chili Powder
2 Tbs Cumin
1 Tbs Basil, dried leaf
2-3 Chipotle Peppers, chopped (optional)
¼ tsp Red Pepper powder (optional)

Instructions

Place all the ingredients in a covered pot or covered casserole dish. Cook on the stove top on low heat or in the microwave until the onions become translucent and the chili begins to thicken. Stir often during the cooking process. If the chili begins to thicken before the onions are cooked, add a little water.

Serve either as is, over brown rice, or baked potatoes. You also can use the leftovers to make a chili salad. Enjoy!
