Ready In: 50 Minutes
Servings: 1
Ingredients:
1 (14.5-ounce) can diced tomatoes
1/2 cup water
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 bay leaves
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper, or to taste
1 teaspoon chili powder
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon italian seasoning
1 (15-ounce) can black beans, rinsed and drained
1 (15- ounce) can kidney beans, rinsed and drained
1/3 cup creamy peanut butter
kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 cup shredded cheddar, optional
2 cups tortilla chips, optional
Directions:
1. Place the diced tomatoes, water, garlic, and bay leaves into a large saucepan, and bring to a simmer over high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low, and season with the cayenne pepper, chili powder, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning. Cover, and simmer 15 minutes. After 15 minutes, pour in the black beans and kidney beans; return to a simmer, and cook for 5 minutes. Stir in the peanut butter until dissolved, then remove and discard the bay leaves, and season the chili with salt and pepper, to taste. Remove to a serving bowl and serve sprinkled with Cheddar, if desired, and tortilla chips alongside.
2. Cook's Note: To make a different version using ground pork, just saute 2 diced onions with 3 cloves of chopped garlic and 2 pounds of ground pork. Cook until golden brown and then add to the mixture above and adjust seasoning.
3. Yield 6 to 8 servings
