Not exact matches
I made a twist on this Mexican Quinoa Bake, but I used the
last remains of the vegetarian
chili as the
beans.
Last weekend was the Grey Cup and although the excitement can never match that of the Superbowl, we still made some special food and Austin gave mom one day's notice for the menu: vegan black
bean and corn
chili, guacamole, baked falafel and tabouli salad.
Anyway, I made this spicy black
bean and lentil
chili last week while all of my family was still here because I knew that my cousins would eat a
bean filled
chili.
Since my main meals are usually eaten away from home (I work in an ER), I like making big pots of things that
last several days, and lately that's been sweet potato chipotle
chili (with black and kidney
beans and tons of veggies).
1/4 cup Olive Oil (I used a little less) 2 cups Onion, chopped 2 Red Bell Peppers, chopped 6 Garlic Cloves, minced 2 tablespoons
Chili Powder (I only used 1 tablespoon) 2 teaspoons Dried Oregano 1/2 teaspoon Cayenne Pepper 1 1/2 teaspoons Cumin 3 (15 - ounce) cans Black
Beans 1 (16 - ounce) can Tomato Sauce 1/2 cup Water (I swished it around the tomato sauce can to get every
last drop)
I used corn chips, the
last of the cashew cheese sauce, avocado, tomatoes, and the veggies from the
chili (I picked out the corn, zucch and squash and tried to avoid the
beans).
Add hot water to the
chili if it threatens to stick to the pot, and stir in the
beans during the
last hour.
I actually used the
chili lime sugar the
last time I made my favorite black
bean and corn salsa for tacos in place of agave.
My week was a bit crazy and we didn't do much cooking, so that's why I'm just now returning with a new post... I ate leftover roasted garlic white
bean stew from the freezer, another can of
chili, lots of unremarkable spinach salads... but it's finally the three - day weekend I've been dreaming of for the past fortnight (since my
last day off).
Last time I was in Providence I had huevos rancheros with a black
bean quesadilla, ancho -
chili sauce and home fries for brunch.
I did sneak in a weekly recipe
last Sunday before I got sick which was turkey black
bean chili.
Even better, you can make big batches and freeze the
beans in smaller portions to quickly de-thaw and add to
last minute dishes like
chili, tacos, soup, etc..
Then, I cook it in a skillet with onions and garlic and whatever...
Last night, I added pinto
beans, cumin,
chili powder and fresh cilantro.
