Instructions
- You will use the entire contents of the canned chili beans (pinto beans in a flavorful chili sauce) and tomato sauce. Drain the kidney beans and black beans. For added texture, fork mash the black beans while keeping the other beans whole.
- Peel and dice onion. Dice peppers. For a less spicy chili use a spoon to remove seeds and pith from jalapeños before dicing. For a spicier chili dice everything but the stem. You can even add a second pepper! Peel and mince 3-4 cloves fresh garlic.
- Add 1-2 tsp oil to a large pot or dutch oven over medium-high heat. Sauté onion for 4-5 minutes then add peppers and garlic.
- Season with chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, and salt. Mix well and sauté for a minute or so until fragrant.
- Next add the tomato sauce and beans. Increase heat until chili starts to boil then stir and reduce heat to an active simmer. Cook covered for 20 minutes.
- Taste chili and add any additional spices to taste. Ground cayenne pepper is a nice add-in if you'd like to make it spicier. Portion chili into bowls, add your favorite toppings, and enjoy!
Notes
- TOPPING IDEAS: sliced jalapeños, pickled red onions, fresh pico de gallo or salsa, sliced avocado, green onion or cilantro, corn chips, sour cream or greek yogurt (vegan or regular) and/or shredded cheddar cheese (skip for vegan).

- As written, this chili is super thick and chunky. It's one of my most meaty meatless chilis for sure. If you prefer a thinner chili, some extra tomato sauce or vegetable broth can be added. Simply increase spices to compensate, to taste.
