Canned beans and tomatoes make this quick vegetarian chili recipe ready to go in just 30 minutes. Serve over rice or couscous, or with tortilla chips for added crunch, and add extra toppings as you see fit—sliced scallions, chopped fresh cilantro, diced avocado and sliced jalapeños are all tasty choices.

That amount of chili powder has GOT to be a mistake. I followed the recipe exactly, and even my dad (who loves spice) couldn’t eat it because the chili powder was so overwhelming. It was also too thin in consistency. Next time I make chili I’ll probably substitute chili powder for adobo chili’s for a richer flavor and not add in as much liquid, or let it simmer for a lot longer. If you are thinking about making this, start out with only a little chili powder and add more as you taste it.

I love that this recipe uses ingredients I almost always have on hand and comes together in 30 minutes. It's a perfect weeknight chili (sometimes my husband makes seasoned ground meat on the side for his bowl).
