Matt's Vegetarian Black Bean Chili

I've made this several times for guests and parties at work.  I've been asked about the recipe.
  • 2 Medium Onions
  • 2 Tbsp Minced Garlic
  • 1 Can (7oz) chipotle peppers in adobo sauce
  • 2 tsp Oregano
  • 4 tsp salt
  • 1 oz Achiote paste
  • 2 Tbsp Cumin
  • 4 tsp Chili Powder
  • 8 cans black beans

Step 1: 

Mince the onions in a food processor.  Add the garlic and cook them down together with olive oil till the onion starts to turn translucent.



Step 2: 

Mince the chipotle peppers and other spices (Oregano, Chili Powder, Cumin, Achiote Paste) in a food processor. Add them with the salt to the grilled onion mixture. You will make a red colored paste which is the flavoring sauce for the beans.

Step 3: 

Add between 6-8 cans of black beans (depending on how spicy you want your chili) to a crock pot. Pour in the spice sauce made in steps 1 and 2.  Simmer in the crock pot for a couple hours till the mixture blends well.  If you like your chili to be more tangy, you can add up to 1/4 cup of ketchup to the mix.  This gives it more BBQ sauce flavor and reduces the hotness of the peppers a bit.


Serve with sour cream or cheese on top.
